Everything! Been coming here since 1971 as a child and it still has the same wonderful feel. It is not pretentious but a gorgeous Georgian hotel, decorated in that style but modern facilities, beautiful rooms. Very welcoming staff, nothing too much trouble. Food fantastic ... Will definitely be back!!
