“How refreshing to find a hotel with hands-on owners, who have their priorities right. David and Ruth Watson (yes, she’s the TV presenter) were already well-known hoteliers when they set about making this (originally) 16th-century inn their own. Their aim was “to create a new concept in hospitality, offering a genial atmosphere, good food and well-designed, simple bedrooms at modest cost”. Nothing is surface, nor clichéd, nor overpriced. They’ve succeeded in spades.”
