“The Tudor architecture certainly sets a romantic tone, and the spa's ELEMIS treatments promise a relaxing escape. Fine dining, coupled with proximity to the Royal Shakespeare Company, makes it ideal for a cultured getaway; however, I think a room away from the kitchen is a must. I'd say that it's a great choice for those prioritizing location and history.”

convenient location spacious family room heating issue cold room
The location is very convenient for walking into town. I found some beautiful trees on the grounds. The family room was spacious (it had everything we needed).
I wish I had read the reviews before my stay. The room was freezing, much like others have noted. No one mentioned a heating issue when I checked in (so I arrived to a very cold room).

The family room in the coach house was immaculate and warm, i could feel the care in every corner. traditional features throughout the hotel added a unique character! the staff showed kindness throughout our stay, always ready to help. breakfast was a delight. The marvelous flavors left a lasting impression!
the room was perhaps a little further from the main areas, i found the walk slightly longer than expected.
