The eleven comfortable rooms are centred around two patios which provide a lovely space in which to unwind, boasting seating, dining space, firepits and even a plunge pool in one.

The hotel design is true to its historic setting while reflecting modern touches, boasting high-vaulted ceilings, brick archways and beautiful wooden shutters alongside sparkling standalone bathtubs, wireless speakers, smart TVs and complimentary WiFi.
