On the hottest day of the summer the long walk up Steep Hill seemed never ending. It was worth it when we reached this hotel.
The receptionist was very friendly and helpful.
The communal areas were inviting and beautifully decorated.
The stairs and corridors to the room were like a rabbit warren but spotless and classically decorated.
The room was stunning, it looked so inviting. Beautiful bedding, lush carpet, thick blackout curtains, a couple of chairs, a side table and drink making facilities.
Two steps up to a landing with wardrobe space and then the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel with luxury towels and Elemis toiletries. The shower was easy to use and powerful.
We ate in the bar on the first night; lovely
staff and beautifully presented delicious food. My husband said the pie was one of the best he had tasted.
I missed breakfast the first morning due to being unwell but my husband enjoyed it.
The second night we ate in the restaurant. I had the the pie that my husband had enjoyed and yes it was delicious.
My husband decided to push the boat out and have the lamb. He sat watching all the large portions coming out for other diners, then his small portion of 'nouveau cuisine' lamb dinner came out. His face dropped, he is good at maths and worked out that each mouthful cost £3. I suggested ordering a side of vegetables but he didn't want to cause a fuss. I gave him half of my pie and pudding as my portions were too big for me.
