We had been told that this was a restaurant with rooms. However, every aspect of our stay was equally excellent. The bedroom, the breakfasts, the dinners and above all, the service - all absolutely excellent.

As quirky as only the English can be. Beautiful food. Rooms so-so (the place could do with a good spring clean). In summer on certain days one can visit the Chettle Manor House nearby which has a very interesting history (google Chettle House). One of the few villages in England still owned by the Lord of the Manor. Would definitely... More

This beautiful old former dower house is home to an outstanding restaurant with a small number of B&B rooms.... More

The Castleman is, quite simply, unique. In a country where you either have to suffer the tartan-slippers B&B or the "you don't look like our sort of customer" hotel, the Castleman falls perfectly between the two. It has a wonderful atmosphere, relaxed and homely, yet offers the kind of food and service you'd expect from a 5-star hotel. The rooms... More

We ate here on an arranged lunch for our car club and had an excellent lunch for over 30 people. The food was excellent, as was the service - would highly recommend for the food!
