Introduction
"Latest News"
Most of the rooms have been re-decorated over the past year and many have new soft furnishings to compliment the decor. The new suite has been slightly delayed due to my overoptimistic understanding of the planning regulations but should be completed later this year. The good news is that I was able to purchase an Art Deco bedroom suite from The Savoy Hotel sale. The new room will be known as The Savoy Suite. Obviously, the theme of the room will be Art Deco.
The entrance to the hotel is being changed so that you arrive at the front of the hotel and go through the main house rather than the old system of arriving at the back of the hotel. The AA and various guests have suggested this alteration and, at great expense, I am happy to oblige. It seems the customer is often right.
Last year the hotel was featured on the well known Sky TV travel programme "Britain's best Breaks". You can view the item by clicking here. You can catch the whole programme on Sky TV Channel 167 or visit Britain's Best Breaks website.
New VAT rate
The current Rate of VAT is 15% . This is included in all our inclusive prices. Some prices shown for conferences etc are exclusive prices and VAT will be added at the current rate of 15%.
Non-Smoking
The hotel is a smoke free zone. You may smoke outside if you wish but all rooms have smoke alarms which  are quite sensitive!
Green Issues
We are doing our bit for Global warming by having recycling bins for glass and cardboard. All the rooms have valves for regulating the radiators, so please feel free to turn yours down. We have a 25 year old Toyota Hi-Lux  diesel powered truck for going to the cash and carry (yes, it's the same colour and model as Jeremy Clarkson's one from Top Gear), as well as a very economical 1960 Morris 1000 pick up (45 mpg).
Plans are afoot for setting up a wind powered generator in the field if we can find enough wind.
Wi-fi 
We have Wi-Fi access in most of the hotel – the Suites, Room 3 & Room 15 being the only ones awaiting connection. This is a complimentary service.
Bathrooms
Room one's new bathroom
Our new ensuite bathroom in room one (Dovecote), champagne extra!
Most of the bathrooms have been refurbished. Dovecote, shown above is my favorite as it has a cast iron roll-top bath. The style I have chosen is traditional English with Edwardian/Victorian suites in white with chrome fittings.
