The location, overlooking the racecourse and within easy reach of the village, offers a tranquil setting, while the breakfast menu presents an array of thoughtfully crafted, delicious options. Everywhere you look, there's a clear attention to detail, from the locally sourced toiletries to the welcome homemade treats in the rooms.”
