Beautiful property and landscaping. Really kind staff, hard-working, but slow service. Which is fine if you are up for a long relaxed meal. Probably a little understaffed.. Everyone worked very hard. Room was very nice but a little dated the bed was slightly soft for my comfort but very rich and historic site.

Country House treat
This hotel - or rather complex - is a real gem. Spa, quad biking, axe throwing, secret forest and forest amphitheatre. Fantastic variety of activities, and friendly, helpful staff who are very eager to ensure your stay is perfect. This included going the extra mile to ensure I was able to video conference despite the challenge that a building with thick stone walls presents for wifi. Rooms are superb with every possible amenity.

The hotel and grounds are lovely could do with the odd tlc in places but nothing bad as it is an old building
Are room was lovely only small down side was the bathroom could do with a spruce up the grouting around the bath wasn’t the best and in some places had come out
We dined at the restaurant and the food was lovely the service was a little slow but could of been understaffed but not enough to complain like a few others did ( to get the odd freebie ) would stay again but in the summer so we could enjoy the grounds more

Lovely venue for a family trip.
Staff were amazing, food and drinks were excellent. Loved the venue and setting, room was cosy and good, don’t expect flashy from a standard room.
All in all, looking forward to staying again.

The shower was mouldy. Staff while I stayed were helpful and polite. However, I had cause to telephone reception on the evening after I left. My calls were repeatedly answered and hung-up immediately without anyone speaking. On the last attempt the handset was simply left on the reception desk for me to listen to another customer complaining. After a few minutes the receptionist again hung up without speaking. Disgraceful way to treat a customer. No going back.
