We stayed here for one night in December 2009 to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. Right from the first enquiry by telephone, Linda went out of her way to make things as enjoyable as possible. All other staff are very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was wonderful as was the breakfast the... more

My sister, two cousins and I (and partners) were looking for a relaxing place to meet for a weekend and the Old Deanery did not disappoint.

We knew from the start of our wedding plans that we wanted a venue which would allow us to have a relaxed and informal family wedding with beautiful and stunning surroundings and the Old Deanery didn't... more

We stayed at The Old Deanery for a couple of nights in August. Firstly the good news... The Old Deanery is a fantastic old building in a great location.

The hotel's setting is superb,the rooms wonderful,the finishing... more
