Hotel Review
Behind an unpretentious facade lies this handsome Regency home, a treasure trove of family heirlooms and good antiques amassed by owners Tim Culkin and Austin Lynch. Leading down to a river, the imaginatively planted garden is full of colour and surprises, and not surprisingly has won a clutch of awards. Two of the three large, attractively furnished bedrooms overlook it. First-rate breakfasts and dinner parties for a minimum of 16.
