Lovely English country hotel. Excellent restaurant and lobby area. No air conditioning, so the rooms in mid-summer are very hot; fans provided but inadequate.

Such a quaint hotel! Check in was friendly. Since there were two sets of stairs to climb with our luggage, we would have appreciated help to our room as I’m no longer a Spring chicken. This is my only complaint. There was a bright pink old fashioned radio softly playing music when we entered. A personally addressed hand written welcome card and complimentary treats and beverages provided. Two luggage racks were extremely appreciated. In our three weeks of traveling, only one other hotel provided a luggage rack. The heated towel rack in the bathroom was already on with the towels nice and warm. My favourite thing, even though we didn’t have a dog with us, was the “Stick Library” basket by the outdoor dog wash station. This hotel understands stepping up service! Even our check out was enjoyable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The room was a good size. You could easily get lost in the as it was so hugh. Shower was amazing. Breakfast was lovely. Must try the french toast next time as it looked delicious. All and all a fantastic stay. Would definitely recommend.
