The Houndshill was once the Dower House to Ettington Manor. Tom "Wookie" Ford and Phil McGovern took over the tenancy in autumn 2018, achieving an extensive refurbishment with striking decor and a particular emphasis on the automotive and motorcycle culture - a 'Caffeine and Machine Roadhouse'. A huge cedar tree overlooks the large garden, where a large twin teepee has been installed to provide an extra bar at busy times.
