History of the hotel
Built in the 1830's as a private house and originally known as Westfield house. The now Abbot's Barton Hotel was a private residence until WW1 and then made available by Francis Bennett-Goldney's family to the Voluntary Aid Detachment as a hospital for wounded troops.
The hotel has lost none of its style and charm. If anything, the homely atmosphere has only improved with age!
