The hotel is super cute and cosy, perfectly suitable for short stays. The rooms are comfortable, but there were a few stains on the blanket. It can be a bit noisy from the road or the extractor fan in the kitchen due to the lack of double glazing in this old building.

The location was perfect for exploring Great Missenden and accessing the Chilterns. However, it's on a busy road and slightly crunchy bap.

Dining

The dining was poor by today's standards for a 4-star hotel, took too long to arrive, and had limited options. However, the traditional shabu-shabu was enjoyable.
