Beautiful hotel! Gorgeous and comfortable four poster bed, modern and well equipped bathroom. Amazing breakfast and very friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend!
The room was clean and comfortable. House was beautiful with high ceilings & stained glass windows and warm with holiday decorations. Owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Me and my husband recently stayed here. Only a short 10-15 minute walk to the centre, lots of places to dine, quiet and safe. Ascot house was warm, friendly staff, clean & the english breakfast was piping hot. Would highly recommend staying here. We would definitely stay here again.
