“The Scarlet is perfect for that special indulgent break. The quality of food and service is of a very high standard and it’s great for couples. While lots of luxury hotels are jumping on the eco bandwagon, the Scarlet is the real deal. In my opinion it sets the standard for eco-friendly luxury in the UK.“ Reviewed by Richard Hammond

“This is a place to read, relax and fall asleep, letting nature wake you up when you are good and ready. Its stripped back simplicity is rare in a world of gimmicks and gadgets. Kate believes that the secret of sustainability is to cut out excess in our lives. This policy also means she can keep the place affordable for guests.” Reviewed by Catherine Mack |
“If you enjoy good old English countryside, peace, quiet, fresh air and walking, Clough Bottom offers this as a minimum. In addition is the feeling of being very much within a working farm, mixed with comfort afforded by good taste and modern fixtures and appliances.” Reviewed by George Middleton
