The award-winning and beautifully maintained gardens provide a tranquil setting in which to unwind, enjoy a morning coffee, tuck into a leisurely afternoon tea or sip on a cold glass of white wine. Tucked within the gardens is seasonal swimming pool while the encompassing terrace has lots of loungers for an inviting place to relax.
History is reflected in the character and atmosphere of this handsome former farmhouse with oak floors, beams and antique furniture, although a sprinkling of contemporary furnishings and colours ensure it doesn’t feel outdated. Awards have also been dished out to the hotel’s 2 AA Rosette restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and where appetising food is expertly cooked and served by friendly staff. Visit the elegant bar where you can make yourself at home in a corner with a beer and a book or pick a tipple or two from the selection of wines and spirits. Another welcoming sanctuary is the snug lounge, where you can put your feet up with a local ale, mellow whisky or fine wine and perhaps treat yourself to a bite to eat.
