Easy walk into town.
We could choose breakfast in our room or in the dining room. The choices were plentiful. The crème brûlée porridge was excellent.

As we have a dog it was convenient to dine with the dog.The decor and the antique furniture and pictures added to the period atmosphere. The meals were very good and the staff helpful. The surrounding grass was neat but the small garden could do with weeding.

Our room needs some TLC
The staff, the building and the food were all excellent, probably the best steak I've ever eaten.However the room was not as good as it should have been. The lock on the door was faulty; the shower either didn't work or was difficult to control; at 8pm on our first night there was not enough hot water for a bath; one of the main light switches did not work

A beautiful period House in a tranquil setting. Large rooms that they have given a great deal of attention to detail. Friendly staff not intrusive at all. Wonderful hotel for a getaway.
