"In the recent trend where hotels do look all alike and quite impersonal, to find a place which is quintessentially British is indeed refreshing."
"We stayed in a family room with our own on suite over looking the outside area which has a water feature and is also lovely to sit out for breakfast."
"Beautiful room with amazing outside sitting area and view."
