The hotel is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
Essentially a hotel/restaurant, but with a bar that's open to the public for just having a drink. The original Victorian greenhouse still stands in garden. 15 letting rooms.
An impressive house rebuilt in 1898 by Captain William Palmer. The owner, Lady Featherstone-Haugh was Lady in Waiting to Queen Mary and her husband was racing manager to King George V. It was only converted into a hotel/restaurant in the 1970s.
It was found empty when visited in June 2023 and has since been confirmed as having been closed for some time and being on the market.
