Fabulous!

We knew this place was special from the moment we drove into the grounds. Service was fantastic and our room was overlooking the garden, which was beautiful. Lots of character in the building. We wish we had our evening meal there after tasting the breakfast the next day. Truly excellent and a real treat.

Almost perfect for a night or longer.

Stayed for one night and the kitchen was closed but loads of options close by in town. Breakfast was amazing however and worth the trip. They opened breakfast early for me as i had an early start. Hotel was period in nature and some things are tired. Bed mattress was thin and awful, but the room was great. Molton Brown toiletries and plenty of good towels. Staff very helpful and friendly. Overall, worth the money and would return without hesitation.
