Farmhouse built in 1650 on the site now occupied by the hotel, part of which still encompasses three surviving rooms within the former hotel structure. In 1865, the farmhouse was converted into a manor house which it is believed was undertaken in two phases – firstly the south facing portion, then followed by the north facing section some 10-15 years later. The house is Georgian in design but includes some early Victorian elements (namely the granite entrance portico).
Notable features recorded and past owners of the house, which was converted for use as a hotel in 1972. Minor refurbishments / decorations were carried out over a period of 40 years until being purchased in 2013, after which significant refurbishment took place before the hotel was reopened in 2014. Closed as a hotel in January 2022.
