I have stayed in very many hotels of different sizes and ratings across UK, America and Europe. For a genuine sense of homeliness, and top class, exclusive facilities Ivy Bank is one of the best I've experienced if not the best. The hosts have literally thought of everything, and they show great care for the guest's experience without ever becoming intrusive.
The only reason I would hesitate to recommend this accommodation to everyone is that I want it to be available next time I'm in the area! But in truth, this is one of the very best.
