Three stars and Two AA Food Rosettes from the AA
“After delish puddings, we retreat to the prettily decorated drawing-room arranged for comfort and lounging about in. Back in our room, we read of the owners' interest in all things organic - pork, venison, even Earl Grey tea. Next morning, sustained by a brilliant breakfast, served with as much attention as dinner, we go outside and stand on the look-out platform. The land slopes steeply beneath us to a valley and a rushing stream, beyond which is Wales. We can't help thinking that if we stayed here for a few days we'd return to London as two much less stressed people.”
Paddy Burt in the Daily Telegraph
“The bedrooms are well appointed, some with spa baths. The rooms in the adjoining Coach House, which have their own patio areas, are especially appealing in summer and for guests with pets. It's delicious, imaginative cooking is another pleasure to look forward to after exploring the hotel's idyllic surroundings.”
