Coming soon!

We are pleased to announce that we are extending our hotel to a beautiful Georgian building just four doors down from The Black Boys.

The newly refurbished building, Bank House, will offer five additional beautifully furnished hotel rooms, bringing our total offering to 13 rooms.

We hope to open our doors towards the end of summer 2026. For any enquiries on stays from late August, please get in touch.
