Been here twice now for our office party, beautiful old Manor house, well maintained, rooms are a bit pricey, but if you don't have your partner as a taxi, I would have stayed.
I am always fashionably late, so on arrival at reception I was given directions to our function room, which when I approached the door was empty, I was going around like a little lost sheep, asked another member of staff, they told me our function was upstairs, turn left and the name of function room, took the stairs he pointed out, got to the top, no function room there either, came back down, did another loop the loop

When our group arrived some of the rooms weren't ready as the hotel was very busy with a wedding and a number of other functions. However the staff and managers made sure we were looked after with free drinks etc. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and the food was excellent. All the staff were lovely and very helpful and professional. The hotel was beautifully decorated and the grounds incredible. Our group will definitely book again.

This is a very nice hotel. As we came in, we were greeted by a gentleman at the reception ( Sheldon i hope i dont spell it wrong). Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is very clean hotel, tea room was absolutely majestic and breakfast buffet was nice too. I would definitely come back to this place. Love it. Thank you staff.

I came to down hall with a friend and her dog for a one night stay including dinner and breakfast. We didnt really know what to expect except we knew it had lovely grounds from photos.
On arriving the staff were very friendly and helpful and helped us find our room whilst showing us around along the way.
We stayed in a ground floor double bedroom with acces to the grounds from the room for the dog.
The room came along with a lovely fresh fruit bowl, a dog bed, bowl and dog treats!
We sat in the bar/lounge area for our three course meal with the dog and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing

Very happy with the tea afternoon. The staff were friendly and catered to any requests, even bought out a surprise birthday treat for my father, (of their own doing) for the occasion for why we were there.
The gluten and dairy free options were equal and comparable to the normal offerings.
Lovely place and enjoyable time spent there.
Would highly recommend.
