We were travelling with our dog which was the main reason we chose this hotel, he was able to run freely in the self contained grounds. However were we to revisit the area without the dog we would still choose to stay here. The building is a wonderful old manor house with a rich and varied history. Anne-Marie, the land lady, is charming and her home made preserves at breakfast are superb. Some people may find the rooms a little dated but they are a good size and in keeping with the character of the house
