I loved my stay at this small, cozy hotel. I picked this hotel for two reasons; I needed something close to my family; I was looking for something "English" and not a global cookie cutter room. I never regretted my choice. The room itself was comfortable, clean and well equipped with a full bath, WIFI and a nice TV. The rest of the hotel is also very nicely appointed. The breakfast room is bright and sunny (well, as bright and sunny as it gets in England) and also comfortable. My room choice included a full english breakfast - which I very much enjoyed. The innkeeper and his staff were welcoming and I looked forward to that breakfast moment to prepare myself for a day of energetic grandkids and touring the countryside. Parking is off-street so you dont have that to worry about. The Monton village center is short walk and on the one day I was on my own for dinner, I was spoiled for choice.
So, on to the "English" part. This is a small, well run hotel - not the Hilton, so one cant expect 24/7 anything you want service. Check in during published hours but after that you will have your own key to come and go. I found the innkeeper and his staff to be very pleasant and helpful in all my interactions with them. There is an intimate feel to the hotel which sets it apart from the hotel chains - I felt like a guest and not a statistic.
