We were in the summer houses which were very spacious, clean and comfortable. The showers were the best ever. My husband did his morning walk up to the Castle and really enjoyed it. The full English breakfast was superb with delicious sausages and that set us up for the day. Overall a wonderful stay and we are sure to return. Highly recommend

Beautiful old house and excellent location. It does need money spending on upgrades though, specially plumbing and in some areas decor. There were several guests who had room changed, we ended up in the room with doggy shower after someone else vacated it - it was better than the room with the bees nest. Staff were brilliant and coped with the various issues well despite being stretched.

Gothic style hotel in superb, quiet surroundings

Comfortable stay is a period property in beautiful grounds. Only 2 downsides to spoil the perfection - fire alarm fault at 2300 on 1st night and a tiny kipper fillet at breakfast in the morning otherwise faultless.
