Excellent place to stay, beautiful grounds and outstanding breakfast

Great one night stay with my girlfriends. Beautiful grounds. Food was excellent at dinner and breakfast plus good value.

The exterior of the property is beautiful. However, the interior is tired and poorly fitted out. The bathroom was that of a 2* B&B with very little thought or planning, such as the shower which hit my head as it was too low. We were given a travel cot without a mattress and only a thick duvet, which was simply unsafe for our baby. The way-finding and signage was a complete mess. We booked a family room, this was up and down a number of stairwells and narrow corridors, making it difficult to access with pushchairs and luggage. We were kept up all night due to the adjacency of the plant room or mechanical ventilation system which was very loud. The zip and link bed was not advertised on the booking, and the fixings were broken, meaning the bed came apart during the night. Overall this hotel is in desperate need of a renovation and upgrade to the interiors for both improvement of condition, design and quality.

Lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds, lots of history, nice walk. We stayed in the stable rooms, room was clean and tidy. Pillows a bit uncomfortable for us but hard to please everyone. We had an evening meal in the Sylvanus Restaurant food was nice although bit disappointed on the the set menu there was only one Veggie choice for starter and main course which I found the main to be too buttery/oily not great when you have a delicate stomach. Breakfast was ok again no veggie sausages, small selection of yoghurt, fruit and cereal.

Excellent staff

Stunning location nice friendly staff

Beautiful property

Delightful suite, lots of room and comfortable furniture. Sizeable bathroom with large bath and separate shower. Great food in the restaurant and wonderful service in the bar.

Our room was absolutely amazing, very beautiful views from the windows. Shower didn't drain so were standing in our own water. Bar area was very cold and uninviting with very little lighting. Could have done with some candles. Drinks were very overpriced. Other communal areas were also cold. Reception and cleaning staff were also very helpful and kind

We stayed in room 207, a suite. It was a large room, very clean, warm, and comfortable. The bar staff were very helpful and prices were fair for a hotel. Dinner was very tasty and well cooked and the waiters and waitresses were very attentive. The menu was a bit limited as was the wine list. Breakfast was okay but not outstanding. Overall, a pleasant stay in a lovely old building.

Very cold very like Alaska

Beautiful property. A bit of a rabbit warren but delightful to see the original features and feel the age of the building. Comfortable room and excellent bathroom facilities. Breakfast had most of what you would expect, I would like more fresh salad available. We especially enjoyed the walking route provided by the hotel, really lovely to get out and about in the grounds.
