We stayed at The Abbots House in October 2011. It was a wonderful stay, both Sheila and Nick were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive.

Charming historic building. Great spacious rooms and bathrooms.

This former stopping-off place for Royalty with lots of history has been sympathetically and very tastefully restored - its high street location must not put visitors off, as it has a private garden and sun room at the rear - where the super breakfasts are served, by a host and hostess who know all about food. The rooms are exceptionally... More
