A two night stay for 10 people in 5 rooms in this beautiful well cared for period building. The staff were fantastic in dealing with a larger group and especially with our Gluten Free member. An open kitchen meant you could watch food being freshly prepared in the Seasons restaurant and chat with the Chefs.. Plenty of room both inside and out to relax with drinks, tea & coffee and scones or full Afternoon Teas. An easy access nature path within the grounds kept us occupied on one day with staff suggesting many other options within the local area. We will be back.

Beautiful hotel full of character, warm and welcoming with exceptional staff who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. Food was very good & the wedding we attended there was perfect. My only comment worth making is ensure you book the room you require as the standard double is very bland compared to the other rooms which are luxurious…. Giving them a call to book directly is a must as they may have special deals which are very generous. I would definitely recommend staying here & would love to return one day.

Stunning building

This is a stunning building in gorgeous surroundings. Unfortunately for me the interior decor badly lets it down as it is faded and very dated. The owners really need to capitalise on the history of the building and decorate in a sympathetic way. The harsh 80s style lighting in particular needs a complete overhaul. Having said that, it is clean and comfortable and the staff are cery friendly and helpful and I would recommend it for an overnight stay.
