But compared to the peace and quiet, natural beauty and friendly staff at Stone Manor, I think I've found my preferred spot while visiting! Pulling up the drive, the manor itself is seated off the road and slightly away from the parking lot, giving it an idyllic look with strong Tudor framing for a classic look. The interior is clean and well-kept with a stately lived-in look rather than a "don't touch that" museum feel. The rooms are down halls, up stairs, through doors and finding yours can be a bit of a hunt. Quick tip: if you or one of your party is mobility challenged, let the staff know to appropriately room you as there are a number of spaces that would be difficult for wheelchairs or crutches. The rooms themselves are well-appointed and extremely comfortable. I visited in the fall, so popping open the windows to allow some of the cool air and the sounds of nature from the gardens was a no-brainer. I'm not sure how well air conditioned they are in the summer, though. The bathroom I had was amazing! Full shower and a deep tub that I could completely get covered in (not common for someone 6'1"). Finish it off with soft robes and a heated towel rack and I felt clean and comfy. WiFi is solid throughout the establishment The English gardens outside are delightful for walking and were soothing. There is a 1 mile nature run as well, but rains prevented me from giving that a try. The restaurant and bar are very good. The fish and chips were some of the best I had during any visit. I ate here three nights in a row and was very pleased with each meal and the diverse though moderate selection of beers available at the bar. I can't wait to visit again!

Well organised and atmospheric pub restaurant with well kept gardens and room to eat outside on a good day. Series of small rooms so good for private dining but I suspect can get busy. Menu is varied with good choices and daily specials Food is good in both quality and quantity. Service is friendly, efficient and helpful. Good value lunches and one hour turnaround business lunches although this is the sort of place where its best to stay a while! Lots of football photos. Apparently the chef is chef to the England team! Really nice place with excellent food and a good selection of wines, most at restaurant prices. Excellent Gavi! Highly recommended. Excellent just off the motorway place for lunch as well as first class local eatery. Hard to fault!

After a £3.5m refurbishment in 2008, the hotel is now one of the best in the local area.

There are quiet a few rooms in the reception area for relaxing and a bar which is near to the restaurant. Our breakfast was reasonable but not very exciting.The leisure facilities are spacious with a nice pool and a large gym area which I was not tempted to use on this occasion.I would stay here again as the countryside in this area is spectacular and worth a longer explore.
