A traditional welcoming hotel

We had a really lovely one night stay at the Elstead hotel. It was very convenient to be able to park right outside the hotel and it was walkable into the centre of town for an evening meal. We enjoyed a drink in the hotel bar and the provisions for breakfast were very good. The spa was an added bonus.
