“This 16th-century inn offers a distinct sense of place, where historic charm meets modern comfort in uniquely designed rooms-some overlooking a kitchen garden that supplies the restaurant. I found its proximity to cultural landmarks like Burghley House and the engaging outdoor movie nights during summer months particularly appealing. It stands out as a dog-friendly destination, and the complimentary parking at a nearby sister hotel makes exploring the area effortless.”
