Wonderful Stay!
tudor mansioncommunal loungelovely stafflate check-in
The Tudor mansion showed contemporary comfort. The location allowed easy access to both town and nearby railway station. The communal lounge provided a wood burner and a bar. The owner and staff were lovely. I will visit again.
I found the check-in time a bit late. Earlier access would improve the experience, especially for travelers arriving before 4 PM. It would be beneficial .
