hotel, opened modern
A lounge bar in a 4* hotel which is set in 9 acres of woodland on outskirts of town. Jacobean panelling in the dining room is a reminder of the original 16th Century hunting lodge still at the heart of this modern hotel. There are 88 ensuite rooms available. Now accessed via modern nearby housing estates - but it is very well signposted from A14.
