Easy to find if you follow directions to the Racecourse. Rooms scattered in converted traditional out buildings - ours was more a small suite with separate lounge and period 4 poster bed. Breakfast was in pleasant spotless dining area - good continental selections included by cooked items were charged separately on a rather eccentric menu. Bathroom was spacious and everything... more

We stayed at Octon Lodge for one night in the medieval four poster room, with a put you up bed for our daughter. The room and bathroom were by far the best we stayed in during our vacation.

Bed was extremely comfortable, sofa very... more

We stayed here whilst at the cricket festival at Kings School, it was a great find. (left out of the school, no more than a mile down the road and on the right! - it could be walked on a pleasant day,) We had to move from another hotel after 1 night and managed to get a cancellation. (I had... more
