Elephant Hotel

the beds were comfortable the staff were helpful and pleasant the showers were hot the steaks were great the bar had a fab atmosphere and we liked the fact that dogs were welcomed

the lighting everywhere was dim and as we are ageing and enjoy reading on our holidays this was a problem for us some of the chairs were difficult in the dining room there were 4 chairs which were too heavy for us to move closer to the tables in the bar there were several chairs which encouraged us to slide (less than elegantly) to the floor the fires were fabulous but there was - in the morning - an overriding smell of soot maybe your chimneys want sweeping however - these are minor niggles which did not impact on our enjoyment of the stay overall - a really nice place with a really nice restaurant
