When Great Grandfather Goring built this hotel many years ago he had the foresight to put bathrooms and central heating in every room. In those days, of course, rooms were much smaller and people’s requirements were very different. Over the past 90 years many changes have been made to the bedrooms, each one enhancing both the size and comfort.

This summer the never-ending refurbishment programme continued, a quarter of the hotels bedrooms were redecorated under the watchful eye of Tim Gosling.
