best dining review so far: online - 'The house is fairly sedate from outside but as entry unfolds you are swept into a cosetted luxury of colour and pattern, richly furnished rooms and exquisite service...We enjoyed Rhubarb immensely, we were pampered and the Hotel proved that it could really look after its guests'.
