We booked the night away as we were travelling on to York the next day. the hotel is located in a beautiful village right next door to the castle. The room was dated but there were three things that really let the hotel down for me, the first one being that the Bedspread had marks on it so through in... More

We sat and watched baby rabbits, deer and red kites with the grounds to ourselves. A beautiful little village and very friendly hotel. We ate... More

The receptionist even personally checked our room was ready so that we could get in early to get ready for a day at... More
