“In my opinion, this Grade II listed building offers a distinctive adults-only experience within a historic Saxon town. The engaging bar and culturally rich menu-influenced by African, British, and Indian cuisines-stand out. I appreciate the hotel's provisions for cyclists, making it a solid choice for active travellers.”
