A gracious manor house in idyllic setting; wonderfully accommodating staff; great (but pricey) food. My husband and I loved our stay, except for our extremely firm mattress. For families with young children, there is an afternoon children's tea, but children were not allowed in the evening dining room. We love children but really appreciated the adult emphasis for the evening. (cell phone free as well.)

While quality of dinner ingredients was superb throughout, preparation and presentation was perhaps a little too simplistic (but I guess this is the style of cooking this place is known for)
Outstanding courtesy of staff Warm and familiar atmosphere Only few and well behaved children
