to get started.

Amazing countryside comfort with old-fashioned elegance—wood burning fireplaces, real candles and attentive service even though we were cut-rate clients. The breakfast was outstanding, the room was good, the house is fantastic, as are the grounds. I love old buildings, so if you value the modern, go elsewhere.

Janet, Canada

rooms and bed very comfortable with very nice showering facilities

Christopher, South Africa

I can only say I felt like royalty. I cannot wait to return. Everything was off the charts.

Margo, United States of America

Great bar, library/lounge, dining room, and grounds.

Anonymous, United States of America

Loved the room! Hotel was very personable and it was so lovely to see the original building not being spoilt. Very classy.

Jane, United Kingdom

Fantastic location, great staff, very comfortable and breakfast was more than expected :)

Lauren, United Kingdom

loved the location enjoyed walking around the grounds especially the walled garden. The breakfast was adequate.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Travelling as a lone female for work, this was a lovely stop-off. Friendly staff, good easy food and a beautiful location. I had a gorgeous, if windy walk around the gardens, finding the walled garden and lovely old trees.

F, United Kingdom

What's not to like? The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, dinner and breakfast were sublime, the bed was spot on comfortable and the location is gorgeous. I managed to get a walk up Mither Tap (the hill right behind) as the sun set to top it all off.

Colm, United Kingdom

It had a very comfy bed a good shower over the bath. Staff were very helpful as I arrived just before last meal orders they waited for me to check in and shower and still took my order. My room was chilly when I arrived but it soon warmed up. I did not get a good view but booked last minute for work, arrived late and left early. A great choice of food for breakfast

There was a wedding on that was quite noisy and had fireworks, we weren't forewarned. It didn't disturb us but it could have been very disturbing if especially if your dog was frightened by loud noises. My husband also got wakened very early hours when they were putting away the furniture from the event. It could have been stored later at a more suitable time.
loved the location enjoyed walking around the grounds especially the walled garden. The breakfast was adequate.

decor was not up to expectations out room was not cleaned and i had booked four rooms in total for my family one being my mother in a wheelchair she had to climb 13 steps to a very old room in need of decoration although bathroom was very nice she could not go downstairs for dinner or breakfast as stairs were too much i put disabled person ground floor in my request but no one made me aware there was no access for disabled person,
the location was fine, breakfast was fantastic the Sunday roast was very good would highly recommend but our room was not cleaned towels were still in the bath waiting to be refreshed the bin was overflowing and our room service tray still laying on the dresser but the bed was made we arrived home after midnight from our event to find our room had not been cleaned too late in the night to complain.
