Difficult to add to Bertie W's incisive assessment.....but this was a very special place with very special people. A particular skill and strength of character is required to be able to welcome and handle 8 potentially difficult customers down from London for a weekend's golf. Clearly embracing the dictum of "be the opposite, or more so", owners Simon and Corinne... More

Our one dinner in the hotel was good as was the cream tea. Very comfortable lounge and terrace area. Any niggles were made up for by a... More

Thank you to owners and staff who made us and the pooches feel really welcome yet again. Fantastic food and choice of wines. Nearly walked the legs off the dogs during the day and collapsed in good company in the evening. Looking forward to returning in the autumn

A great place to relax, unwind and come away refreshed and ready to start again. Michelle is a warm and friendly host, all the staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. It is most definitely a place you can't wait to go back to. I left yesterday and already planning my next visit.
