"Overnight stay on the way home from North Wales and just as lovely as when we last visited 10 years ago."

Beautiful room with 4 poster and vast bathroom. Splendid 6 course tasting menu for dinner - it is billed as a restaurant with rooms and the food lives up to that, but the rooms are lovely too.

Nothing (but it isn’t cheap).
