“ The hotel was everything we could have hoped for and more,from the emaculate bedrooms to the stunning dining room everything was perfect. Very friendly landlady and husband made us feel very welcome and invited us to have a brew on the lawn with them which we gratefully accepted after our fairly long journey. The food was superb,along with the marvellous fresh fruit juices from the local farm shop. Overall a very very pleasurable stay and we will definately be returnin in the summer!
“ Top Tip: We had dinner at a restaurant called The Lakes at Hempstead House Hotel which was a £25 return taxi journey away but the food and service were stunning approx £60 a head inc wine!

“
This Hotel was homely comfortable - I had only booked it for B&B but it was way beyond that. I was made most welcome, the room was spotless and the on-suit sparkled.
I had everything that I could want and more. Claire and her partner made me most welcome. the building has a great history.
“ Top Tip: There is a park next to the Hotel with walks and there is also a Falconry centre that do courses.
