A beautiful old manor, well kept and maintained, this place gives you you a wonderful english feel and touch of its own rich history. The rooms are huge, the bathroom has a cute bath-tub and 24x7 hot water supply. We had very filling english breakfast served early morning at 6.30am on our request. Warm hospitality and middle of the town location at a reasonable price.
One really can't ask for anything more for a cozy stay.

A visit to this absolutely stunning old manor house is a must. Was a bit concerned at first as location in the town is not the greatest, but once you walk through the front door and step into the past - the grand building the lovely antiques and most of all the incredibly friendly staff. Had an enormous room, comfortable bed with good linen and one of the best breakfasts. Unbelievable value.

Ants in the beds. Don't try to have a shower unless you are a midget as the length of the cord is 2 foot long so you have to sit down for a shower only to find the water alternates between boiling hot & freezing cold ..... no middle ground. We had booked for 3 nights and stayed just one. No airconditioning and in January VERY uncomfortable one ceiling fan in the room, you may open the window but beware of the noice coming up from the street as the local drunks enjoy their party.

I only stayed there for one night. The whole place is huge and so are the rooms. It has soething special to it, since it used to be the palace of one of the ostrich barons, but somehow lacks atmosphere. I felt a bit lost in the rooms since they are so big, but lack adequate decoration. Also, the bathroom looked nice, but could use some proper refurbishment. A good thing was that the gardener had washed our car the next morning.
