Guests staying at this charismatic country house in a quiet conservation area have complimentary use of the nearby health and leisure club.

Retaining many of its original period features, the Ruskin Hotel so-called because the respected Victorian art-critic, John Ruskin visited the house is now an exclusive privately owned family run hotel.

It's a 'best of both worlds' experience; having all the charm and quietude of a rural retreat and all the convenience of a major British city. Each of the bedrooms is en suite and each enjoy their own unique character with pleasant views over the gardens.

Come Spring and Summertime, guests can use the veranda overlooking the gardens to soak up the rays of the sun or roast gently in front of the warming open fire in Wintertime.
