"We loved the features throughout the building. The beams, low ceilings, uneven floors...really kept the character of the building. Rooms were nice albeit a bit strange having the shower in the room and not in the ensuite but good use if available space given grade 2 listed building regulations."

10/10 Excellent
"Easy on-line check-in, friendly greeting by reception staff, spacious and comfortable bed and ideal bathroom facilities. Excellent breakfast, and more friendly service from the breakfast room ‘host’; a far better experience than many ‘superior’ hotels we’ve stayed at. Hotel well-situated for shops, restaurant, bars and public transport. "
"Room was excellent with a huge bed, breakfast was a little busy on occasions but staffwork very hard and everything worked fine, would like to say Zoe on the front desk and Kamila who runs the breakfast restaurant were absolutely fantastic people ,every hotel would be lucky to have people like these. Can’t praise the whole team enough."
"Hotel very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Beds comfortable. Great facilities pool sauna gym
Breakfast could have been better cold plates. Only egg option is scrambled. Sausages under cooked. Some of the Breakfast items ran out.

"There are not enough superlatives to describe this hotel and its incredible grounds!
The food was Excellent - better than the Michelin * restuarants I have been to recently in London and Venice. The grounds are spectacular - all 66 acres of them and its worth visiting just for this alone.
The bedrooms are very nice and confortable. We had an Orangery suite which has Aircon. The Main house rooms do not.
The staff were superb! Expecially compared to some other much more expensive hotels where the service really lets them down. "
"I love this hotel, this is my third stay, first time with the family.
The hotel overall is gorgeous in beautiful surroundings.
The restaurant was lovely as was the food and the cocktails and the service was impeccable.
The room was a family room and was huge! No falling over each other loads of space, plus an added touch the fan was already running when we got there as it was a warm day, thank you.
Tiny issue with team doors banging in the morning (not unreasonable time but nonetheless) but this will not stop booking another visit at all. "
