Outstanding helped us through a challenging time ( funeral) with professional approach with kindness and support
Philip
Lovely old estate transformed into hotel. The staff was great - helpful - attentive. The hotel restaurant was also a reason to just stay on site and not waste time and effort to look for another meal solution. Highly recommend.
Karol
Check-in was easy, staff was friendly and helpful. Room was small with stains on the carpet and marks on the wall - not great.
Evening meal was very good in terms of quality. Not great was serving time and overall state of chairs and tables. Chairs were absolutely uncomfortable and tables wabbly in restaurant and breakfast room. Parking was OK, but road into property is full of potholes.

The only thing which needs to improve is to supply water bottles in the room and the biggest point is the shower! It needs to have a shower head which gives you more pressure when having a SHOWER.

Not the Best
The water was dirty as there had been problems with the boiler, however, that didn’t help us when trying to have a shower, wash, clean teeth etc. The hotel was quite dated, which isn’t a problem but little things, like bottled water in the room would make a big difference.
David
Very quiet period. My mattress needed replacing.
Breakfasts variable in quality & no fresh fruit on day 1.

Watch out for hidden charges when booking. Needs modernising, cold water and a stressful experience overall.
Judith
Stayed for two nights. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. I had an Executive Double which was spacious with a comfortable bed. En suite was nice although took ages to get hot water and even then it wasn’t that hot. But overall we had a good stay and would definitely book again. Be aware the road up to the hotel has many large pot holes but this road isn’t owned by the hotel so nothing they can do about it. The road they own is well maintained

A Great Hotel
Have stayed here before and as usual it was a really enjoyable stay. Room was fine with excellent shower. Breakfast was very nice as well. Staff were great from really lovely receptionists to housekeeping. The man on night shift was brilliant even though we kept him busy in the lounge area.
All in all I highly recommend this Hotel.

Ruth
A hidden gem just a few miles from major motorway.
A beautiful historic building that’s kept its authenticity. Many hotels like this usually undergo a renovation and paint everything 50 shades. This building creaks, has squeaky floorboards which adds to its character. The walls are paper thin however and you can hear EVERYTHING that goes on next door. The shower was unpredictable but it’s what I would expect for a room with such a good rate. Don’t expect luxurious rooms and the grounds are manicured. A typical wedding venue. I’d be happy to return. Also big easy car park.

Overnigt stay
Overnight stay as we were visiting family nearby. Room was quite small but clean. Small bottles of shower gell etc rather than larger bottles in dipensers, simlar for the jam at breakfast. Would help with plastic waste. Staff were lovely and very helpful especially those serving at beakfast.

Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful staff.

Stunning hotel, guests kept me awake all night being loud and drinking till late but this was due to an event (wedding).
Beautiful surroundings and room, cleanliness could be better but overall comfortable, nice stay.

Called to see if they could accommodate me a couple of hours earlier so I could leave my bags in the room. They informed me that would cost £20, so I declined. Bad first impression.
I booked an ‘executive room’ as it listed that it had a king size bed in it. Room 34 that I was allocated did not. They moved me to Room 35 that does.
Room 34 stinks of mould too and the bed had a ripped sheet on it! There is evidence of a leak in the ceiling and I don’t think they’ve dealt with the consequences of the leak or tried to improve things.
In room 35 there was black mould on the shower head spouts, black and brown mould around the taps and there is a very unhygienic carpet around the shower and bath.
It needs a deep clean!
The shower is poor, the pressure is weak and took 5 minutes to get to temperature. Not unusual for an old property but still not a great user experience.
Great big towels are a plus.
Nice high ceilings.
Windows that open.
No breakfast menu in the room, which meant we decided to go elsewhere as I can’t eat dairy or eggs. I went down to take a look at the breakfast offering and the food wasn’t too appealing.
I won’t return.

Unfortunately this lovely hotel is very tired looking and in need of modernisation.
The evening meal we had was excellent.
The breakfast was luke warm.
As for cleanliness our room especially the bathroom hasn't been clean properly with dust in and around the radiators and floor.
The staff are lovely and will do anything for you.

While it was a beautiful place to stay, I was disappointed in the room itself. It was much smaller than the photos portrayed it and the bed was not comfortable. The shower head was covered in mould, and you could feel each individual bed spring in the mattress and felt as if you were sleeping directly on the bed base. It squeaked and groaned with any movement and was not good for my arthritic back. I had expected a bit more from a 4* hotel sadly.

Sadly i was informed that there was a wedding which wouldnt have been a problem but for the fact we couldn't eat or drink at the bar.
There was a promise of a dessert which i needed to call down to reception to prompt after waiting an hour and a half for it.
The shower fixture didn't hold the shower head either

The beds are a small double, and very very uncomfortable with springs popping out. No cot provided for 1 year old either. Walls are hollow and rooms are dusty.
