Style

Expect a friendly and relaxed atmosphere at this stylish country-house hotel. With its tasteful Farrow & Ball-painted walls, Chesterfields and other comfortable furniture, it's a perfect bolthole for recharging the batteries. We loved the local artworks, fresh flowers and real fires in winter.
