Lower Brook House

In a converted 17th-century silk mill of 'great character', this 'homely' small hotel is run by owners Julian and Anna Ebbutt. Downstairs, a small dining room and two sitting areas have original flagstone floors, exposed oak beams; an open fire in the larger room, books about the area, magazines, and 'a medley of personal objects'. Mrs Ebbutt, 'a competent cook', serves traditional dishes (eg, beef, ale and mushroom pie, carrot mash) on a supper menu that can be taken in the dining room, 'the comfort of your bedroom', or in warm weather in the garden. The bedrooms, each named after a member of the family who once lived in the house, vary considerably in size and style. Snugborough has a pitched, beamed ceiling, a compact shower room; Northwick, on the top floor, has a four-poster bed and a large bathroom. Daddy Lowe is 'small but pleasant, decorated in the modern plain style; thoughtfully equipped; plenty of towels and good toiletries'. The 'very good' breakfast has a buffet with freshly pressed orange juice, various mueslis; 'good, thickly cut toast, heavenly preserves'; a choice of cooked dishes.
