Beautiful building, and grounds The whole building smelt delightful Dinner in the Greys was delicious Service exceptional Room clean and well stocked Only slight negatives would be my partner would have liked a firmer bed pillow and the laid out breakfast looked as if it had been out a while, the fruit was on the turn and the cheese started to go hard. The ordered cooked breakfast was scrumptious.

Very nice grounds. Terrible signage. We couldn't work out how to get in in our car. Parking wasn't clear. Reception wasn't signposted. It didn't start our evening off well. Instructions in an email would have been appreciated. Service was very good. Atmosphere was good. The seven course tasting menu was great. I had asked for a birthday candle in my husband dessert which I was promised. It didn't appear which was disappointing. It was a lovely evening even with the hiccups at the start

Super afternoon tea served in front of the fire at 1330 on 29 October 2025! The team member who served us was confident , well-trained and very welcoming. The tea was superb! Probably the best we’ve had anywhere we’ve ever travelled! My only suggestion concerns outdoor signage for non-residents which might be described as discreet! However, we eventually found the small button that opened the doors to the courtyard! Fortunately, we were provided with a map so that we could enjoy the gardens on our way back to the car park! Once again, as a birthday gift, the whole experience was superb!

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!! What an amazing hotel. The setting is idyllic, the service from every single team member was the best I’ve ever had, the food sublime - I would DEFO come back here. In fact I don’t want to leave!
