Our welcome was very hospitable. Our bedroom (No 1) was smaller than the typical hotel king size bedroom but nevertheless very comfortable, plenty of storage and well equipped with a recently refurbished bathroom en suite. Breakfast was OK though we did have to forage for items in the fridge , cutlery etc. No lounge facility dedicated for guests in the main house but unusual and pleasant bar/tv area in separate outbuilding a short walk away. Located in residential area but close to centre of town. Adequate parking area. All in all good value for money.

Highly recommend

Clean and comfortable room and the hotel is set in a quiet location near the town centre. Will and Chess are charming hosts and were very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. Nice little bar also offering a good selection of food. Nice breakfast too. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful house in a quiet, upmarket neighbourhood, with easy access to major roads. The two rooms we were given were themed i.e. French style and nods to the space age (Tim Peake stayed here and was the influence for that room design). Excellent facilities, with a great bar area, lovely lounge area, and small dining area. All you need for a pleasant, quiet stay. Will, the owner, is very passionate about the hotel and that is obvious in the care and attentiveness he shows to his customers. Definitely made a pleasant change from the usual national hotel chains. We will stay here again when here on business.

Lovely stay

Loved the decor, although as my wife had recently had an eye operation she found it a little bright, but loved it all in all. Everywhere was spotless and if we had stayed longer I'm sure we would have loved the bar in the garden. I only popped in to pay the bill but it is lovely. Owner and partner were delighful and very friendly. Breakfast great!

Our stay was lovely, the property was well kept and the room spotlessly clean. A nice bar in the garden which unfortunately we didn't get time to use but it was well stocked and look cosy. The welcome we had was lovely and breakfast the next more was cooked perfectly. All in all a great stay.

Great find!

A great place to stay. Loved the individual themed rooms. Excellent for comfort/cleanliness/decoration/good breakfast. A real gem to find the pub in the garden - 4 real ales on tap & kept in good condition (we tried them all just to be sure). We would definitely stay again when in the area.
