Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and spotlessly clean, with a superb newly fitted bathroom. It was lovely to see that the bedroom furniture and decor perfectly matched the building's aesthetics, including a gorgeous, huge wardrobe. The service was professional, friendly, and accommodating, especially Amy, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location was lovely, surrounded by fields and immaculate gardens with wonderful views. The dining experience was perfect. Overall, a great value for money experience.
The hotel offers spacious and well-furnished rooms, perfect for weddings. The service is outstanding, with staff working tirelessly to ensure a memorable experience. The location is serene and beautiful, although not the most convenient. The dining experience is lovely, with made-to-order dishes, but with a minor issue of off milk. Overall, a charming stay with great service and picturesque views.
I stayed in the Coach House room with French doors leading to a garden offering spectacular countryside views. The room was beautifully decorated and spacious, though in need of an update for the price paid. The service was excellent overall, with a special shoutout to Amy. The location was fantastic, perfect for my needs and adjacent to a quaint village. The dining experience was excellent, with quality ingredients in a bright orangery. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room improvement needed.
