The story

Since 1810

The terrace was finished in 1810 and has been a hotel since 1921. We’ve kept the cantilevered stone staircase, the cupola and the shutters that fold into the window reveals.

Everything else, from the tweed on the chairs to the oatcakes at breakfast, comes from within a day’s drive.
