The hotel is a lovely choice with fantastic rooms and great food. The rooms are lovely, all very clean and comfortable, but the stifling heat was a bit of an issue. The service was exceptional, with helpful and polite staff in a stunning bedroom; however, a small detail with the restaurant table could be improved. The location is really nice and relaxing, right in the center of Olney, perfect for planned visits in the area. The dining experience, although disappointing with unexpected menu items, still had a good selection. The facilities were top-notch and included in the price.
