A trip back into a quieter, more civil age, the Goring hotel is still in the hands of the family who have run it since 1910, and they are clearly determined not to let the incivilities of the twenty-first century anywhere near it. The gorgeous public areas are decorated in true antique style, the staff are kind, efficient and polite and the location is simply stunning. A delight.
