“A luxury hotel, in a grandly historic building, that feels to be in the country, yet is minutes from the city centre. Original features mix with contemporary style to create a relaxed, unstuffy atmosphere with food that is fresh, modern and unfussy.”

Hotel Review
It’s hard to believe this country-house-style hotel next to a wooded ravine is only a 10-minute drive from the city centre. The grand Arts and Crafts building - once the home of a prominent Victorian industrialist – was designed for entertaining and its original wood panelling, inglenook fireplaces and polished floorboards have been skilfully blended with modern Italian furniture, rich-coloured upholstery and contemporary art. A collection of cartoons and wire-sculpture dogs give the feel of a relaxed, idiosyncratic country house.
Bedrooms are quietly elegant with softly striped carpets, clean-lined furniture, feature wallpapers and muted shades jazzed up with shots of copper, sea-green or plum-red. Thick curtains and velvet armchairs add texture while pot-plants and glossy magazines add inviting touches. All are different in shape; some have bay windows or window-seats, a few have terraces. While afternoon tea is one of the star turns, save room for dinner; the cooking is assured and modern without being fussy, and the set menu better value than the a la carte. A city hotel with the peace and views of a country-house hotel.
