Lovely staff, very good food ( especially breakfast). Situated at the heart of Cranbrook. If visited again would not have Room 1 - no outlook and next to the kitchen extraction unit.

Older property, but well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. On site parking a plus. Has both a restaurant and a pub ….. food was good. Comfortable bed but no A/C …. Not a problem in May….probably would be in summer. No elevator

Enjoyed this hotel
This was a lovely place. The staff was marvelous and so helpful. The dining room and lounge were very pleasant, and the young man--whose name I neglected to get--was the perfect server.

A very historic hotel dating back well prior to Cromwell. The room was charming and the knight in armor in the reception area and swords over the fireplace with ancient oak mantelpiece in the restaurant was really nice as was the breakfast

Great getaway, shame about the bath..
Stayed in the Heather room, beautiful old features, very comfortable. Spa bath switch jammed 'on' so had to be controlled by pull cord by door and plug leaked, couldn't relax in it as jets set to full power and on all the time.
Food, bar and service were a great, very warm and friendly. Would recommend the venue.. But not that room.
