A 4‑star Gold‑award country house, it blends classic Victorian character with modern comfort, offering spacious rooms, a boutique lodge area, and a dedicated garden terrace. The hotel’s picturesque riverside setting and extensive woodland provide an idyllic backdrop for both quiet retreats and family vacations. All rooms feature contemporary décor, high‑speed Wi‑Fi, private balconies or terrace views, and thoughtful amenities such as a tea‑station, hair dryer, and TV. Select rooms boast luxury extras including hot‑tub tubs, 4‑poster suites and private bathrooms with spa‑bath options. Pet‑friendly accommodations welcome well‑behaved dogs, and free parking is available on site. The on‑site restaurant has earned an AA Rosette every year since 2006 and is helmed by Chef John Williams, a Michelin‑starred Fellow of the Master Chefs of Great Britain. Guests enjoy a seasonal menu sourced from the hotel’s own kitchen gardens and local suppliers, with separate pet‑friendly dining spaces. An in‑house bar and a charming lounge complete the dining experience. Seasonal events such as New‑Year Break packages, gala evenings, and wedding celebrations further add to the hotel’s allure.
