We curate our Collection based on three core values to guarantee the best possible experience for you:
Passion
It's the heart and soul, the unique and individual charm of every site. We look for special places with their own distinctive, extraordinary offering.
Pride
In the very bricks and mortar themselves, in the service provided, the presentation of the rooms and food served, from the flourish put on a garnish to the local suppliers the inns work with. The pride from the sites in what they do, who they work with and especially the pride to champion that which is local, seasonal and sustainable - the very best of British.
Pleasure
Ensuring our sites offer you a warm and personal welcome when you arrive through to knowing that you will be leaving with a smile. It's that wonderfully intangible quality that brings people back time and again, ensuring you leave perfectly satiated, happily satisfied and pleasantly charmed.
