Beautiful period hotel
Our second stay here. Beautiful period hotel, lovely lounge area with separate bar area. Superb decor in keeping with its Georgian heritage. Each bedroom is individually decorated. We loved the way there is information referring to original occupants of the houses that make up the hotel.
