Unique old England architecture. Staff helpful. Sadly we did not receive notice pool was closed until it was too late to change plans. Restaurant is excellent but it’s necessary to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to it. Easy safe walk to nearby pubs and park.

Lovely accommodation and restaurant. But...I don't know why these chain hotels charge a credit card surcharge. Smaller hotels don't so why the larger ones...Most clients will be paying by CC so it just seems like a price hike.

Very nice staff who did all the right things when we had an issue with the plumbing. Also contacted us when they found we had left behind our charging unit and cords. They then arranged forwarding them to us, although at the required cost. Units were a little dated and in need of refurbishing, though it was all clean and tidy.
