In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Earmark the Perrier Jouët suite, luxurious in green velvet or the Decadence Suite, with free-standing bath. Of the smaller rooms, definitely try and book Alice or Snowstorm; we find India a little too kitsch for most tastes and Harlequin feels a bit tired.
- Packing tips
- Marabou mules; jelly shoes.
- Also
- No private parking. Minimum two-night stay at weekends.
