Rooms are large well stocked ( brownie tasters left with coffee were unreal - thanks apprentice Ben!) warm and comfortable. Food here really deserves to be enjoyed at length as I struggle to think when I have tasted food prepared so well with an imaginative twist on the menu - first class! Breakfast I...

Our room was lovely, suitably large with 2 good wardrobes and a light over the dressing table mirror. The mattress was very comfortable and table water was always available. Breakfast was served in the conservatory with a lovely view of the enclosed garden. We ventured away from the Full English to try the omelettes which were delicious! The owner, Noorani Willamson is charming, chatty and very knowledgable about the surrounding area.
