During the time it has been running as a hotel it has been renovated to provide a comfortable establishment, which retains some of its eighteenth century features such as the cantilevered staircase and oak panelling. Various extensions have been added, one of which is a large mahogany conservatory with dance floor, which is used as a restaurant and function room.

Our clients only stopped this side of the business to suit their lifestyle. This is ideal business opportunity, perhaps for a couple with little or no experience in running a hotel, to take this excellent business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
