Gorgeous room and property, perfect for a midsummer stay. Room had a private patio which was lovely. First stayed here last summer and I think some areas could do with a freshen-up since then. Ate in the restaurant which was quite disappointing; a distinctly average steak and overdone chips.

Great for the races or local visits. Very relaxed.

Super old building easy parking simple quick check in, dog friendly, polite fun staff, parts of the place need some urgent investment, but shower room i had was new ish and excellent, rooms spotless and quiet. Kitchen breakfast wide choice great eggs and mushrooms. Good coffee. Dinner more good ingredients with some unusual pairings. Steaks costly.. The staff were all excellent and remembered names and showed interest in whatever it was you were doing For them alone it is worth a visit.

A wonderful place to stay!

We had a fabulous stay, the hotel restaurant and bar are all excellent! We were greeted when we first arrived by the very friendly and helpful staff and that friendliness never stopped! The staff made our stay and we loved every minute!
