An excellent place to stay
Pros:

Beautiful room. The food was excellent, we had lunch & breakfast there. Lots of lovely different areas to sit in in the pub/restaurant. Receptionist took the time to actually take us up to our room & show us how everything worked.

Cons:

Tricky to get into the carpark as there was a barrier that you needed a code for & it took a while to get a response from reception to obtain the code

I would have no problem staying here again.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice and fresh. I had a breakfast nap and a fantastic pastry after with a latte. Room exceeded our expectations, spacious, clean, size, and decor was fantastic. Lovely little town and right beside the train station which was very handy. Staff were very polite and helpful with directions to help me get to places I wanted to go in central London.

Cons:

I enjoyed everything.

Comfiest bed ever with great food and superb service!
Pros:

The bed was super comfy. Staff were absolutely brilliant and really friendly. The food was fabulous. Absolutely great find! I’ll be back when I’m next down south.

Cons:

I did think the additional breakfast cost was a little pricey but that’s because I don’t have a full English in the morning. Any chance of a lower breakfast rate for a continental breakfast or pay as you go?? Just a thought. I did love my stay, though!
