I found the owners and staff genuinely attentive. the dinner and breakfast exceeded my expectations. Both were excellent. the hotel exudes an understated luxury and showcases close attention to detail. i particularly enjoyed the complimentary snack, a delicious gluten-free flapjack, that the owner made specially for me.

I found the service quite attentive. the room had quality bathroom products.. also, i appreciated the homemade biscuits. breakfast was certainly made with care. I noticed the amazing chef took great care.
I found the bar staff not particularly friendly on arrival. the ale seemed off.. it produced a cloudy pint. the landlord seemed stroppy when we raised the issue with the staff. That was not a great experience.

a good culinary retreat

fresh produceculinary retreatroom phone
i found the fresh produce from the kitchen garden greatly enhanced the flavors. the chef's passion and skill were evident in each beautifully presented dish. i particularly enjoyed the cured fish. The chef also bakes bread in-house.
i found that the hotel lacked room phones , which was somewhat inconvenient. i had to use my mobile phone to contact the front desk for assistance. the absence of this feature felt a bit outdated for a hotel of this caliber.
