This is a very interesting, characterful place. Nice bar, nice restaurant (excellent barbecued steaks) and friendly, helpful staff. Don't hesitate to book - but (my only gripe) if you drive an EV, their chargers don't work. There are other chargers in the town though

No atmosphere bar silent no staff on checkout. I left a note saying I had a balance on my room. Rude

I had a great time coming back to the Elephant for about the fourth time. It's not the Hilton, it's a boutique, chic hotel with themed rooms full of character. Really comfy bed and pillows. Great breakfast. There is The Herd steak restaurant, I tell everybody about it, it's great and the steaks are lovely.

Quirky property. Fabulous steaks for dinner. Limited parking but next door village car park was fine.
