Peaceful Setting: Excellent Bedroom with spacious bath and shower: Elegant Dining Room and Lounges. Very attentive and friendly Staff. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent food - especially afternoon tea.

The staff were vey attentive

Too hot at night. Some areas need major reinvestment.

The beautiful historic building

The bedside radio was crackly and old. Have stayed before about 20 years ago. It's still wonderful but looking just a little tired. Due for a redcoration but keep the character - don't change jusr refresh. Think they're struggling to retain their exclusive status. It used to be the place to stay. Now there's plenty of other competition.

I love the ambiance of the house and gardens. We have visited a few times and have always been able to relax completely as soon as we get there. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food is like none other, simply fantastic.

I would have preferred a proper double bed instead of the zip and tuck that we had in our favorite room.

Check in service was quick and smooth. I was helped with my luggage which was very much appreciated after a long journey. Unfortunately I did have some difficulty finding the Hotel but that was probably down to me and my incompetence with the sat nav. The room was excellent and quiet which I had specifically requested up front. Evening meal was delicious and service was exceptional. The head waiter was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast menu was good and so was the food. Check out was speedy. I would certainly recommend your hotel to colleagues and friends

Breakfast service was rather slow, which is not a prolem if you are not in a hurry, but when on business can be a rather frustrating

Came as a Birthday weekend treat - found on the internet. There was nothing I could fault or say would improve the Hotel / staff / food at all !!! that has got to be a 1st as there is normally something even when pleased with choice. Would definatey recommend this Hotel... Superb.... Also bargin through booking.com.. Thanks.

Everything was excellent.

This hotel had individual qualities as opposed to the sameness of so many chain hotels. My room was spacious and well appointed though lacked a good work station. The bathroom was large and modern but also in keeping with the character of the hotel. I ordered room service as shirt aand jacket required for dinner. Would have been nice to know at poit of booking as I was only there one night and so was travelling light. The room service however was propmt and of good quality. The breakfast was excellent with high quality ingredients, attentive staff and nice environment. The gym was well equipped but needed an overhall as did the changing rooms. My visit was in the dead of winter but it was clear that the gardens and grounds would be lovely in other seasons. Looking forward to my next stay

Building, location, food

Didn't realise the spa would be closed-not shown on booking conf

The hotel's appearance as you drive up does not disappoint. It has an impressive frontage and it is set in lovely grounds. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. A problem with the lighting in the room (a fuse had blown) was fixed immediately and without fuss. Our bedroom was large, comfortable and with pleasant views. The various lounges and sitting areas are ideal for relaxing in country house style. We were fortunate with the weather, but if it had turned out to be inclement we would not have been disappointed to have spent more time around the hotel. All in all a pleasant and relaxing stay.

The hotel could do with refurbishment in places; carpet worn on the stairs and bathroom slightly old fashioned (a tiled floor rather than carpet would be easier to maintain and be more hygienic in the bathroom). But, these are minor niggles and would not put us off from returning.

Elegant and comfortable, great ambience, nothing overstated or too prissy.

Excellent staff and service. Food first class. Location right. Very good value.

This hotel is a little gem. Very small & intimate old hall, furnished to character with impeccable service. We planned to get out and about during our 2 night stay but finished up collapsed on the terrace in the sun most of the time. We booked to eat in a smart local restaurant and regretted it; leaving behind a cosy beautifully lit up hotel with piano music filtering outside!

Our room was let down by instant coffee and long life milk. The welcomed spring water (nice touch) should have been complimented by fresh coffee and in a hotel with such exacting standards perhaps some homemade biscuits. A small criticism however.
