Hotel Review

A fine and very old (1455) house, part Jacobean, part Victorian, which acted as headquarters during the Anglo-Dutch Wars has been given a classy makeover, with three bedrooms that are spacious and full of period detail but also slick, contemporary and well-equipped. The Duke of York room has an exceptional pargetted ceiling dating from 1660, while the Earl of Sandwich room has a slipper bath in front of an open fire. Dinner, excellent and locally sourced, is served.
