I only stayed there for one night but would happily have extended! The hotels rather ugly exterior hides a gem of a hotel. Once inside the hotel has been renovated to a really high standard and whilst it is an historic building (Nelson and Lady Hamilton stayed there!), the bedrooms and public areas are really modern.

A wedding was being held in the hotel when we arrived, having made sure we weren't wedding guests - the receptionist ensured we were given a room where we wouldn't be disturbed. Both breakfast and our evening meals were excellent.

The hotel’s location is really lovely, its at the base of Box Hill and has its own gardens and outside swimming pool. My only gripe is that the maps on the website aren’t very clear and the directions are almost non-existant. However having found it I didn’t regret booking it – its just a shame I don’t live nearer!!!
