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 a Sky TV travel programme. You can see the video of the hotel  as featured on "Britain's Best Break's" by clicking the link. You can also catch it on Sky as it is one of those programmes that will be repeated forever.

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 now have have Wi-Fi access in most of the hotel. The suites and room 15 being the only ones awaiting connection. This is a complimentary service.
