“The comfort here feels deeply considered, from the impeccably appointed rooms with their modern bathrooms to the thoughtfulness of Eccles cakes on arrival. Breakfast, I gather, is a serious highlight, prepared with care and using excellent local produce. It strikes me as a place where genuine hospitality transforms a stay into something rather special.”
