The hotel was an interesting blend of positives and negatives. The rooms were really clean and comfortable, complete with a big bed that felt like a cloud. Owner Mark prepared a brilliant breakfast but the big four-poster bed, while grand, could be a hurdle for some due to its height.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is top-notch, being just a short walk from the lively Thame Street with plenty of free parking available. The rooms were well set out, although a bit tight on space for solo travelers with lots of luggage. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff baking cookies in the kitchen and offering helpful assistance throughout my stay. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the freshly cooked meals in a serene environment. Despite some minor flaws, like the toast needing a little extra something, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations.

7.4/10

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms in the main house were huge and offered every amenity we needed, beautifully appointed with a great shower and comfy bed, but the downside was the small size, cramped bathroom, lack of electric outlets, and a musty smell. The service, especially from Rachel and Jess, was very friendly and accommodating, providing helpful recommendations. The location was excellent for exploring mansions, the cliff walk, and Thames St, though the uphill walk back could be a bit challenging. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a nice chefs omelette and freshly baked cookies but overall being mediocre. The hotel facilities were decent with a cozy kitchen setup but lacked certain conveniences. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.
