The food was extremely good - well presented and very appetising. The staff were not only efficient but very friendly. The room was well furnished, very clean and well decorated.

Mike, United Kingdom

Bedroom was looking great and everything was very comfortable. The sizable bath tub was a great bonus.

Max, United Kingdom

Lovely period hotel, was the home of Strutts the local mill owner and still retains its charm. Often return and was married there. Great place.

Kerry, United Kingdom

Room 22 was excellent. Not had this room before, wouldn't mind it again! Comfy bed, raised seating area and large TV.

Mike, United Kingdom

The bed was really comfortable, some areas could do with updating but the surroundings and furnishings fit the period of the property. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens, its just a shame we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it. This is on my list of hotels to revisit.

눉Had to ask to be moved as original room was in stable courtyard area and despite being decorated ok, it was very dark and with no view so felt a bit like walking into a basement bedsit. New room was nicer and facing the garden but bathroom was very tired and in need of a full re-fit for the price paid

눉Staff at breakfast time, asked for cutlery and got told to move to a table that was made up. Constantly running out of breakfast food items and staff appeared rude when asking how long it will be
눇Way too hot, even with windows fully open.

“Delicious dinner and helpful staff”
- • Business trip

- • Stayed 1 night
눉The breakfast was disappointing after such a superb dinner. While the fresh fruit and cereal options were good, the cooked breakfast was a disappointment - sausage overcooked so a bit dry, scrambled egg wasn't brilliant. And you've got to make your own toast which I hate! On an inclusive tariff the breakfast costs £10 but if you're not and are paying separately, then it costs £16.50 which is too expensive. I was in a standard room (room 12) which was fine size-wise for one person for one night but it had a scenic view of the roofs. A fire escape staircase passed one of the windows and so 2 external lights shone all night which meant my room was never dark. The bed was in the middle of the wall so the armchairs and coffee table were squashed on one side. There was only bedside lamp. The stool at the desk was too high to sit comfortably and work but the armchairs were too low. But the room only cost me £48 so maybe I'm expecting too much! The Executive rooms are bigger and more spacious. While the bathroom was newly fitted (see positives), it could do with a shelf next to the washbasin as there's nowhere to put your toothbrush etc. other than the other side of the room. And a towel ring for your hand towel would also be good as again, there's nowhere next to the washbasin for a hand towel. Small things but they matter and show thoughtfulness. I do wish hotels would try room designs out on folk like me who travel a lot!
눇The food at dinner was outstanding: I had smoked salmon on home-made treacle bread with slivers of pickled cucumber and a caper dressing; pork fillet wrapped in parma ham with confit belly pork, red cabbage and a cider jus; lemon posset topped with berry fruits. £30 for 3 courses. Carol the head receptionist and Jan the housekeeper were very helpful in showing me some different bedrooms so I can upgrade on my next stay. The waiting staff often lacked a bit of polish (the young waiter at dinner when I pointed out that my wine glass wasn't clean, peered at it and said "oh yes" but didn't apologise!) but they made up for it by otherwise being effective and very friendly. The rooms were clean, the towels fluffy, the water very hot and all the bathrooms have recently been upgraded with Mira showers so are very swish. If you like a corner bath, this hotel is for you! I'll be staying again.

“Overall a very good base for doing lots of different things in the area.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉A bit of a "rabbit warren" of a property - prefer to be in main house rather than "outhouse". Cleaners did half our room, then as we returned from breakfast, they left but never came back! Also hotel system hadn't "logged" our reservation from Booking.com - their fault, not booking.com.
눇Location really good for a wide variety of activities - city, country, National Trust properties and other places of interest. Restaurant excellent!

“Could easily have been better”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Executive Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I was charged extra for a fold down bed for my 5 year old despite this been asked for at the time of booking. When we got there, the bed had not been made up. I asked for a breakfast earlier than advertised due to a cycle race that I was participating in. I was told to go and get cereal etc from the restaurant in the morning, but nothing was laid out. When we complained we were still not discounted the breakfast (that I never had) from our bill. The big negative was the wedding that was pumping out excessive noise until 2am in the morning! We were not told that one was taking place and it Is incompatible with sleep in general, but specifically for our 5 year old!!!! :-(

“A place to have happy memories for brides/grooms and family/friends.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Bathroom had hair grips and hair on the floor. Bins had useless thin bag, once placed an item in fell away from the rim. We had one shower and then could not get it to work for the second time, ended up having a bath. Blinds at bedroom windows need to be wider to cover gap of light shining through in the morning. Ladies Toilets down stairs at wedding disgraceful at 9.30/10pm, as no dryers. all paper towels gone, toilet paper used, complete mess as no flip bin. People commented on having to wipe wet hands on clothes to dry. Hotel staff need to check at hourly times to tidy up. Smelt unpleasant early in the day too. Very cold in the room by the bar as the side door was constantly left open by guests - needed radiator on. Breakfast needed toaster in the same room as the food as we didn't spot this until later, so slow and needs a couple of times to go around to get toasted. Bigger pot of tea at the breakfast table or swap the larger coffee pot as this was bigger and no one had coffee.
눇Conservatory room for the wedding. Food fantastic, complements to the chef/staff. Very well presented quick to all tables and asked us several times if all OK. TV size in the bedroom, good comfy pillows and mattress, modern décor colours. good selection of beverages to make a cuppa. Lovely heating on, not cold. Good hot water in the bathroom. Breakfast did have vegetarian sausages as requested. Staff cleared plates away quickly/efficiently. Signed in and out at reception promptly. Very well kept grounds, no litter, magic night staff who cleared away from night before wedding. Excellent.

눇Spacious room, very modern & spotlessly clean. Every sound could be heard from the occupants in the room above but it wasn't an issue. We didn't eat there as we spent a while walking around endless corridors & huge empty rooms trying to find something that resembled a bar/dining area or even a staff member until we gave up and ate elsewhere.
