We stayed in the Old Rectory, which had a really cool Gothic vibe that matched exactly what we expected. The staff looked after us really well, the huge bathroom and lovely bath were great, and having breakfast brought to our room was a nice touch. We also tried the Witchery Restaurant for dinner and it was delicious-perfect for special occasions like anniversaries or honeymoons.
