I had such a beautiful stay at No.131. I originally booked it because I wanted somewhere inspiring to spend a few days writing my book, and it was absolutely the right choice. The hotel is stunning. Every detail feels thoughtfully finished and perfectly considered. I ended up spending a lot of time in my room, which was gorgeous and genuinely sparked my creativity. The bathtub was pure luxury. There is something about soaking there that feels wonderfully old English and indulgent. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming throughout my stay. As a solo traveller, I felt completely at ease and very well looked after, especially by the team at The Terrace, who made me feel genuinely welcome. The food was divine and the whole experience felt special from start to finish. I enjoyed it so much that I have already booked again to celebrate my birthday. If you are looking to get away somewhere beautiful, surround yourself with comfort and truly treat yourself, I could not recommend it more. This hotel is an experience, not just somewhere to sleep.

Had a lovely late lunch here on Friday 5th December 2025. Weather was absolutely horrendous outside with the wind / rain battering the tents where we were sitted inside. The staff looking after us were lovely, didn't have to wait long for the starters. The 3 course festive meal I had was very nice and my Steak was cooked to perfection. (Very little fat on the piece of steak which I prefer) Although the overall bill was expensive just for 2 people (£96) I didn't mind paying as the food and service was excellent. If you are a non drinker and just want Water make sure you specify tap water as the small bottles of still water they will bring you are VERY expensive!!! Hopefully going forward once the tents / marquee's have been replaced with a proper structure the overall experience eating outside @131 will be a lot better...

Truly impressed from the location, the design, our room was outstanding, the staff, both Yvonna in the restaurant and Valerie on reception could not have been more friendly and are a credit to the hotel. We will for sure be back!

I am in love with this hotel . It is one the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in. The rooms are just exquisite . Food was absolutely delicious. The only problem I had was with the air con in the room . We were not allowed to lower the temperature so the room stayed hot for a while as it was a very hot day. Plus they should have switched it on before arrival . I was sweating a lot before it became cooler in the evening. Have to say , staff and surroundings were absolutely brilliant.
