This old coaching inn has managed to reinvent itself as a contemporary boutique hotel while staying true to its roots. Downstairs, an old-fashioned wood-panelled lounge is warmed by roaring log fires, while the guest rooms in the main building, created by the set designer from the film Pride & Prejudice, are chic and understated.
The highlight of the building is the grand old ballroom, originally built in 1818 as a meeting hall for local farmers.
