We aim to be able to deliver an outstanding experience, which meets and, where possible, exceeds the statutory requirements placed on us.
We are mindful of the fact that our hotel is within a historic building, which can be subject to strict planning regulations. We will always aim to strike an appropriate balance between safeguarding the integrity of our architectural heritage and delivering an accessible and, above all, safe, environment in which to welcome our guests and visitors.

We also have a fully accessible bedroom with wet room. This room, within our Superior Category, is spacious enough for a wheelchair and has emergency pull cords located next to the bed, by the toilet and in the shower area.
