Friendly service, beautiful rooms, and splendid views
of the rolling countryside await at the

THEY ARE MANY CONNOTATIONS THAT SPRING TO MIND WHEN YOU MENTION THE VAST
METROPOLIS THAT IS CROYDON. PEACEFUL, RELAXING AND STUNNING COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS ARE

JUST 10 MINUTES – YET A MILLION MILES AWAY – FROM THE TOWN.
