The hosts are lovely and make you feel welcome immediately upon arrival. I dropped a bottle of wine which broke on the light coloured carpet soon after I arrived when a window shutter swept it from the table - it was cleaned up straight away and Arden then gave me a small bottle of wine as consolation, given I had just travelled 300 miles by train - that was so sweet of her and not one hint of annoyance, which was exceptionally good hosting.
I was in room 3; the bed is simply enormous and comfortable; the bathroom as of a similar size, with a corner bath, separate shower and even a Chaise Longue !
Ardenwood is currently being decorated top to bottom, which was reflected by Room 3, which I believe was next to be re-painted and the standard of re-decoration is clearly going to be high. The seating area in the garden is quite tranquil. Highly recommended and all for about the same price as a Premier Inn.
