Children
Really child friendly: extra beds and cots can be provided, and the Stable Block rooms with their bunk beds and children's beds are great for families. If you want to splash out more, rent The Lodge, a self-contained cottage great for families. Also on offer is a daily creche with activities and games, children's swimming hours, a children's special menu at the restaurant and lots of baby extras like sterilisers and changing mats. Babysitting is available, too.
Eating in
24 hour room service, and the bar closes when the last guest leaves. Restaurant serves mediterranean-influenced fare to a smart London restaurant standard (with prices to match).
“The building may be Grade II listed, but Tim Boyd has transformed the interiors into a modern, new-media style country hotel.”
