From stepping in to reception area we received a warm welcome both by staff and an engaging fire set within a characteristic fireplace.
It’s an aged hotel/Manor House with lots of charm, wood panelling, beautiful staircase.
Cleanliness was superb along with the standard of food. We enjoyed a perfect stay!
Lovely staff, great breakfast and fabulous food at dinner, cooked to perfection. Room 15 was a little cold - darent leave the portable heater on all night! Lovely country manor - would return.

Nice overnight break
Hotel was very clean although a little dated. All the staff are very friendly, Food was really nice, not a huge choice for evening meals but there was still enough choice for us. We originally came for afternoon tea and decided to stay the night. We stayed in the 4 poster bed room. It was very spacious & clean although the bed wasn't very comfortable

Quaint old building, beautiful woodwork. The different floor levels, including in our room, could be a trip/fall hazard for older people. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly.

A Very Enjoyable Stay
I love this old Manor House hotel, it has an abundance of character in a charming, tranquil setting.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff attending to us. So friendly and obliging.
Hotel is clean, food is great, I’ll definitely be back.

Lovely experience staying at an English manor. It has easy parking and a great garden to stroll on. it is family friendly and we liked the personal touch with video game setup in the room for the kids. Breakfast and meals are available. It is bit remote set in the village and it is not a 24-hour manned lobby so it is well suited for couples looking for a quiet time./

Lovely bed and staff just didn't like how the room is joined to another room by a locked door with over guests making noise only down side to the full stay but food and service and staff were excellent

Charming but....
I really wanted to be able to give this place a glowing review as the staff are all really great, but for an overnight stay, it just didn't tick all the boxes for me. Food was very good, staff were excellent, grounds were lovely and it was quiet BUT, decor very dated, bed was seriously uncomfortable, bathroom tiny and shower was little more than a dribble. Lovely place though!

Very Good Overall
Our stay was very comfortable with the staff being extremely helpful and pleasant. Our room was very good although the steps in the room up to the bathroom and lounge area were disconcerting and could lead to trips and falls by young or old. The evening meals and breakfast were very good with a reasonable choice and well prepared and served. The parking area was less desirable with very rough ground and lack of organised parking bays.

1 Night Stay in January
Basically the hotel requires some TLC, especially the bedroom windows, they appeared to be on the verge of falling out! Otherwise our 1 night stay was very good, the bed was excellent, comfy and warm. Our breakfast was also very good, no issues really. The 1 one problem was the Wi-Fi, after 30 minutes I gave up!!
We would certainly stay again.
