“From what I gather, this Grade II listed Georgian building seems to balance its historic architecture with modern comforts quite well. The hotel takes pride in its gardens and sustainable practices, plus its commitment to social responsibility with on-site dog training sessions for visually impaired guests, so it should appeal to those looking for more than just a place to stay. The impression I get is one of dedicated owners who actively maintain the property and its high standards.”
