A Bowling Green was being prepared and would open very soon.

11th June 1891 - Proprietor Harry Gandar advised Secretaries of Fishing, Cycling and other Clubs that the Hotel had undergone complete renovation and was situated in one of the most picturesque spots of the Eastern Counties, adjoining the River, which afforded excellent fishing and boating. It also had one of the prettiest Bowling Greens.

The Household Furniture, a 14 ft Dingy and a useful Chestnut Pony, the property of Mr. Hulbert were to be Sold, Monday 8th October 1900 since he was moving.
