A great venue, not a great night’s sleep.

Beautiful hotel, good food, and wonderful staff.

Sadly, the room this time was not up to standard. Uncomfortable, very noisy, in need of some refurb.

Great 1 night stay. Very comfortable hotel and a lovely dinner then relaxing with drinks fireside

Lovely setting - parkland and golf course. Large, comfortable room. Great bed !

The room was a little bit dimly lit. Two table lamp bulbs were not working. The taps in the bathroom sink (lovely bathroom and shower !) were loose. These are small details but become obvious when everything else is excellent.

Very disappointing considering it cost £139 for one night. I’d have expected more from this venue.

Nice setting Lovely grounds

Hardly slept because it was so noisy due to our room being above the kitchen extractor vents. They were on all night. The dressing table stool had 3 broken legs and would have been dangerous to sit on. There was no grab rail for getting in and out of the bath and the water kept switching from scalding hot to freezing cold. This was extremely dangerous due to how hot the water temperature was. The breakfast portions were extremely small especially since it cost £19.50 per person.

Spectacular, award winner Georgian country house hotel, with fine dining, set in beauful landscaped grounds

Easy check in, nice spacious third floor room with large bathroom. Friendly welcoming staff. Fine dining in The Orangery with both an excellent dinner and decent breakfast.

High bedroom window looking onto roof parapet with treeline beyond. Lots of debris (not just leaves and moss) on roof. Looked like it had not been swept for years. Bath plug didn’t work properly so water was draining as I tried to have a bath.

8.0 / 10.0

Nice hotel but overpriced

I arrived at 1240hrs as I was attending a wedding at 1400hrs, so we requested an early check which we were charged £40 for 1 hour 20 minutes, this seems very excessive a bit like the bar prices very expensive. I also lost a lapel badge in the wedding function room, I did ask staff but nobody was very helpful to try an locate this or even if it had been handed in.

Absolutely beautiful.

What an amazing hotel/venue. I've stayed in many beautiful places over the years but I have to say this beats any without doubt. The hotel, the staff all perfect in every way.

7.0 / 10.0

Adequate but a little over-priced for what we received. Receptionist very helpful.

Room was spacious and comfortable.

Breakfast was poor value for the amount charged. We were woken at 6:15 by very noisy outdoor gardening machinery. We had booked a twin room but it was made up as a double and we had a long wait until it was sorted out. Furniture could do with a clean and a few decorating repairs needed, especially in the bathroom.

Exquisite

Beautiful old charm and quality.

Only having to climb stairs to our room.(3rd floor) Both of us (in our late 70s and recent knee operations, found it a challenge after a day spent sightseeing. But it didn’t take away from the pleasure of staying in such a beautiful place and we do understand that it isn’t possible to always have lifts in such buildings.

Great hotel and facilities.

Great location and grounds. The hotel is set in amazing grounds with so much character. The staff can’t do enough for you. On arrival the room was really cold but it soon warmed up when I put the radiator on. Can’t fault the service and facilities.

Cold room on arrival but nothing major.

well worth the visit will be back

The best thing about this location was the seclusion what is just what you want after a long drive and a days work, no unreasonable waiting in service for evening meal or breakfast easy check in and out

in the pouring rain the walk back to the hotel from the car park in better weather the walk will be lovely

A comfortable 'Old Style' hotel.

A very comfortable large room . A nice location. Breakfast was table service and a very nice relaxing experience.

Although very comfortable, the hotel generally is very tired and would benefit from an up grade. When we were there (2 nights) the temperature outside was -3C and the central heating in our room wasn't working. On the 2nd day at 12.50 we told reception about our problem with the heating. Unfortunately, at 6.45pm nothing had been done and it was still freezing in the room. We had to contact reception again and this time the problem was solved within the hour.

Nightmare

Everything excellent apart from episode with bath Beautiful surroundings Beautiful house Excellent friendly helpful staff Excellent food drink and accommodating professional staff Appreciated the male managers response to our complaint in morningwhich he dealt with in a very understanding approachable professional manner to rectify situation

Stench that enveloped the bathroom 🚻 and room Poor response from the female manager who was asked to come to room to smell for herself but refused x So disappointed Obviously thought it wasn't important Couldnt use the bathroom facilities and had to vacate room early in evening for our meal as still a acrid stench Couldn't use bathroom facilities in morning either as scared it would happen whilst using bath or shower Unsettled night as anxious it would happen overnight clouded our stay for our ruby anniversary which was in Oct but postponed as I had pneumonia Overall disappointed what was supposed to be a relaxing stress free stay resulted in a traumatic experience x
