    limited bar selection

    The hot water bottles placed in our beds each night were a lovely touch.

    It was surprising that the bar did not stock any Indian malt whiskies.

    Exceptional stay highlighted by the warm and attentive staff. Rooms were tastefully decorated, complete with electric heaters and cozy hot water bottles, ensuring comfort during chilly nights. Breakfast offered an excellent selection, including delicious salads. While stairs can be challenging for those with mobility issues, the charm of the heritage property and lush service by the team made it worthwhile. A lift would enhance accessibility for all guests.
