Burythorpe House

A little gem of a hotel set in lovely countryside. It rather felt like staying with your wealthy relatives because the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I have never booked anywhere that within half an hour of placing the booking, received a welcome and thank you message from the general manager, who I would add was very present during our stay and was incredibly lovely. The hotel, in places, is a little tired but it’s far outweighed by everything else it has to offer. The room was so quirky with little steps up and down, probably originally a bedroom and private sitting room in years gone by, with a front view over the most incredible old oak tree. The breakfast was lovely quality and the one evening meal we had was also very good. Overall, I would say, the hotel has a soul and character which is so lacking in many other places now. It’s not all bling and sparkle but rather a lovely warm glow on a cold , damp weekend.
