Old school charm
The hotel is an old building and there are parts which feel quite run down but that did add to the charm of it. The carpets need replacing in parts and the bed I had was very soft. Overall though, the room was larger than average and the welcome i received was lovely. I would stay again.

A beautiful historic building in very well maintained gardens. Lovely pool and Elemis spa area. Dinner in the bar was delicious, staff were very friendly. However, beware if breakfast is not included in your deal, the restaurant tried to charge almost £54 for 2 coffees and 2 breakfast rolls, when we asked why they said it was a basic hot breakfast charge, whether you had a full cooked breakfast or a sausage on a roll, which was 1 sausage cut in half !! We paid £24 after refusing to pay a full breakfast charge.
