All you really need in a hotel
This is a comfortable hotel in the best pub/hotel tradition. The old building is well restored and the plumbing arrangements are superb, and varied. Some rooms have showers and some have baths so ask if it matters to you. The tubs are wonderful large clawfoot reproductions. The décor sometimes left us amused and bemused. It was a confusing mixture of enchanted or haunted forest with hunting lodge. But the furniture was large, solid and comfortable, mostly rough and rustic. The art in one room was a bizarre mix of animal photos and Paris Soiree with non-matching outré light fixtures. Très amusant. But our stay was very comfortable and we were well cared for. Breakfast was notably superb and generous, packed lunches ample. These two items were also well organized with check of lists to be prepared early to make it efficient. My friends and I stayed two nights and were most happy with everything. Some rooms are a little stuffy if windows do not open (we were there in hot weather) so you may want to make a specific request.
Number 1 High Street Bar was a delightful find, too. We had afternoon tea there twice. We had drinks at least twice. And we had Tapas one evening for a most excellent supper. They were a wonderful surprise, very high quality eats. Very highly recommended. read more
