A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Lovely warm welcome, Lisa at breakfast was so friendly and made us feel at home! Delicious and abundant breakfast . The room was spotless, spacious and cozy The owner was absolutely lovely and kind Great breakfast, great bed and great old proper British atmospheric”
“We've had an awesome stay at St Maur. Lovely big spotlessly clean room with a fridge and large ensuite bathroom. Room opens onto a balcony with fabulous views. The attention to detail is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble David makes the best cooked breakfast but there is also a fabulous selection of fresh fruit,cereals etc. Would highly recommend and We will definitely return.”
“Excellent rooms serviced to a very high standard by a cheerful and friendly staff. Breakfast was outstanding and Lisa, who served it, brightened up every morning. The owner David has put so much into making this your home rather than your hotel and his efforts were much appreciated.”
