The hotel used to be the home of socialite Lillie Langtry, who sold it to the hotel on the condition that she could remain living there. Her original mosaic floor and staircase are still there, giving a homely feel. Parquet flooring, panelled walls, plush leather and velvet seating also give an air of Golden Age glam.
Staff are welcoming and attentive and particularly friendly with dog owners. Dogs are welcomed to the hotel with their own menu, bed and pampering. Facilities such as the private gardens and tennis court are a huge draw, particularly in a location like this.
