“This is a boutique property that seems to really understand its Dorridge setting, from the private gardens for events to locally sourced menus. I noted how convenient it is, being across from the train station, and the individually styled rooms suggest a commitment to personalized service. I think the restaurant alone, with its awards and varied options, makes a stay worthwhile.”
