Just spent three wonderful nights at the a Step House. An incredibly pleasing experience. The decor is just beautiful. The hotel was completely refurbished a few years ago and it is exquisite. The food was wonderful. Like a five star restaurant. We used it as a base to do a five day section of the Barrow Way, starting in Milford... More

Myself and my fiancé stayed here for a night and had dinner in the basement restaurant. The food was faultless, our room was luxuriously decorated, clean and relaxing. We had a very restorative stay. We will definitely be back!

Had my second stay here last weekend for my sister's wedding and they really outdid themselves. Service, food and venue were first class. Breakfast was a treat and the cocktail bar and gardens were lovely too. We stayed in lovely room 200 again and it's a suite not a room! The wedding meal was cooked to perfection including fillet steak... More

My wife and I stayed in this beautiful hotel for 2 nights in April 2013. The room was excellent and the service very good, though the receptionist on check in could have been a little friendlier. We ate in the bar on both nights (the restaurant only opens at the weekend). We were very impressed with the quality of the... More

I and five others dined at the Step House Restaurant last night - it was the first time for my partner and myself, although the others had dined there previously.
