Profile

What to book, try, order, see, or ask for

  • Why travelers should care: Sarah and Simon manage bookings, breakfast, the bar, and local advice at a 14-room hotel with single, twin, double, king, family, and four-poster choices in an 1880s building.
  • What to book, try, order, see, or ask for: Compare the single, twin, double, king, family, and four-poster rooms; request the floor, bed setup, breakfast need, luggage storage, parking permit, or pre-booked wine and chocolate that affects the stay.
  • Best for: Rail arrivals, couples, solo travelers, families with children aged three or over, breakfast-led stays, small groups, and guests comfortable with stairs and a ten-minute walk to South Bay.
  • What makes it worth the stop: The owners live on site and handle the guest journey themselves, while the marble fireplace, original staircase, breakfast room, lounge, bar, and terrace retain the character of the 1880s building.
