For a slice of history, you can’t beat the Porch House. A warren of comfy eating areas downstairs with halls leading out to the village. Clean charming rooms. Really nice staff that make you feel like the place belongs to you. And the wonderful “snug” for late night post up with a friend (or daughter in my case!)

Excellent venue and everything about the room, facilities and food was great. One problem with a less than helpful member of staff in the restaurant but this was hopefully a one-off.
