Throw away all thoughts of a corporate, systems driven hotel Company who live and die by SOP’s. We are proud to be quite different.

Civilised surroundings; old-fashioned hospitality; friendly but faultless service; a location away from the roar of traffic, but within a very short walk of the most important attractions.

A family-run company with traditional hospitality values, we thrive on being idiosyncratic and welcome like-minded individuals to join our team.

We are fortunate to have colleagues with a genuine passion for service, as well as adaptability, a cheerful disposition and pride in appearance.
