Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were beautifully designed with thoughtful touches and offered amazing views across the Churchyard to the open countryside. The service was top-notch, with excellent room service and housekeeping. The location was perfect, nestled in a charming cobbled street of elegant Georgian houses, near enough to the town centre to walk but far enough to feel quietly secluded. The dining experience was exceptional, especially with the Chef's own black pudding being a highlight. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, providing a luxurious experience.
