ROOMS
Castle wardrobes and secretaires, vast oak beds with ornately carved gothic headboards, Victorian commodes, inlaid tables and original oak panelling have all been restored in these rooms which were once home to a magistrate, an architect, a surgeon and a master baker to name a few of the original inhabitants. None of them could have dreamt of creature comforts such as room service, e-mail, satellite TV, hot and cold running water or even clean sheets. But then history is always more appealing when it has been cleaned up a bit.

DINING
Conservatory - the hotel's sitting room leads into a small courtyard garden. Light refreshments and breakfast are served here (or in your bedroom) and guests can help themselves to drinks from the honesty bar.
