“What struck me most was the quiet repose of the rooms, a genuine sanctuary for a frequent traveler, where darkness truly falls when curtains are drawn. The breakfast itself felt like an occasion, served in a grand, high-ceilinged room, with a delicious, traditional English spread. It's clear that comfort and a welcoming atmosphere are paramount here, from the deeply restful beds to the easily managed parking.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uksomerset
