Accommodations
The hotel's 27 bedrooms are individually styled to reflect the building's Elizabethan and Georgian architecture. Several rooms feature four-poster beds and luxurious bathrooms with roll-top baths or rainforest showers. Each room is furnished with a flat-screen TV and tea and coffee making facilities, though no wardrobe is provided in some rooms - guests find a hat stand instead.
Dining
The King Charles Restaurant serves a seasonal bistro-style menu prepared by award-winning Chef Andy Crouch, using locally sourced ingredients. A free full English breakfast is included with all room rates, featuring fresh fruit, yogurt, and cooked-to-order items. The restaurant is open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, but closed Mondays and Tuesdays; guests can also enjoy the bar and lounge for coffees, cake, and drinks from 10am to 8pm Wednesday to Saturday.

“This is a hotel that truly understands the value of a good welcome, from the straightforward parking to the genuinely helpful staff. My room was a welcome retreat, both warm and comfortably appointed, with the pleasant surprise of a four-poster bed and a fast-filling roll-top bath. The breakfast, notably outstanding, alongside the atmospheric setting and reasonable price, makes a compelling case for a visit.”
