Welcome to
Best
Western Master Robert Hotel |
|
The name of our hotel has a very
unusual background.
The “MASTER ROBERT” was the
Grand National winner of 1924
and whilst the adjacent public
house was being built, the
Robert Inn, the horse was in the
stables of Mr Lynwood Palmer,
the famous painter of horses who
lived nearby.
He also apparently agreed to
paint the sign for the hotel
only if it was named after the
horse. This was agreed and the
sign was hung in 1929 by the
owners of the horse Lord Airlie and Major Green.
