Good Hotel Guide Review
There are ‘sweeping vistas’ from this Lutyens-style country house in ‘stunning grounds’, now a luxury B&B praised for a warm welcome from the ‘friendly, attentive’ owners and staff. ‘Beautifully appointed bedrooms’, some with a sea view, have fresh milk, Cole & Lewis toiletries. Martinhoe suite has a huge bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower, Kinsford has an in-room roll-top bath. In the dual-aspect Grand Hall, a ‘superb breakfast’ includes French pastries, free-range eggs, rare-breed pork sausages, ‘delicious smoked salmon’. At night they lay on a cheese-and-nibbles buffet for guests who don’t choose to eat out. (Gwendolyn Galsworth, Kate and Phil Slater, Leone Ashby, and others)
