The loft is comfortable and private with an unobstructed view of the spire on the hill, and Cliff is a wonderful host and genuinely interested in sharing his home and the lovely village of Harrow on Hill.
We counted the steps to the loft, it's 30 well spaced stairs with handrails, in a conversion which is the best designed I have ever seen.
The quality of the fittings and the lovely rugs and mirrors make this far more interesting than your average hotel. The bed is so comfortable, only a breakfast as delicious as Cliff provides got me out of bed.
The art on the walls is as diverse as Cliff's own work and of his many past students.
We ate twice at the Old Etonian as we enjoyed the first two courses, fresh vegetables well presented and a good selection of roast meats and cheeses. We were happy with fish soup, duck a l'orange and chargrilled lamb. The second night we had desserts, which was a let down. The food had been in the fridge too long and the lemon torte crust was separated from the curd, the tiramisu had no alcohol and tasted of the fridge. Both were slopped onto the plate. Each cost £4.85 while the two course daily menu is £16.95
