Excellent hotel in a fantastic location.
Very friendly greeting from reception on arrival.
Room was way better than I imagined with a view of the gardens.Nice large and comfy bed and decor was a high standard.Booked a superior room so got an entrance hall and dressing room.
Grounds were stunning and enjoyed a walk before a nice evening meal.
The hotel bar was in the great hall which was an amazing location.
The only let down was the WiFi and phone reception.Probably due to the location and age of building.
Would recommend to anyone wanting a luxury break away in the country.
The hotel was in beautiful grounds and ideally suited for a wedding venue. We were just on a one night stay, breaking up a long journey up north, and the hotel was fine (if, compared to other 4 star hotels we have stayed in, somewhat expensive). The public rooms were quite impressive and the food in the brasserie restaurant good. The problem was that the whole place was a bit "tired" and needed money spent on it. For example our superior room was clean but had marks on the carpet and flaking paintwork. Also the TV was in the wrong place making it awkward to view from in bed. Worst of all was the bathroom which was badly in need of a makeover with mould and cracks on the walls, and cracks on the floor around the bath and toilet. Also light over the sink was unusable as it flickered and the toilet seat did not fit the bowl properly. I could go on but you probably get my point.
The hotel is a beautiful building in an amazing rural setting. The room was spacious and luxurious and the food at breakfast and dinner was superb. The staff were all really friendly and helpful especially Dave the concierge and Shirley the breakfast waitress, who really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay because all the staff were friendly, happy and helpful. The Hall is magnificent, the setting is beautiful and the food is top quality. Highly recommend.
