Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
In landscaped parkland minutes from the coast, this neogothic Victorian confection with gargoyles and stained-glass and mullioned windows was built in 1881 for John Edward Ellis MP and his wife, Maria Rowntree of the fruit gums family. Atmospheric interiors are hung with original artworks. Bedrooms and suites in the mansion and Carriage House have fine antiques, perhaps a carved English oak or teak Indian canopy bed, a modern roll-top bath and walk-in rain shower. There is a feeling of effortless luxury, while in the dining room a set menu includes dishes such as whole roasted partridge in smoked streaky bacon or spinach and ricotta tortelloni followed by a tartlet made with apples from the orchard.
