Wow, what a charming hotel set in quiet grounds in a very rural area. The welcome, service and food were all great.

This used to be quite a twee hotel when I first visited it 38 years ago! Times and tastes do change. Renovation is required, brasses need polishing, and wallpaper needs replacing. Even though we were sitting in a empty restaurant at lunchtime (which suits me,) the staff were a bit loud. Large people would find sitting on the dining room... More
