Original grand building in a pleasant location. Poor value for money. Reluctant to check in early, despite agreed that we could to be able to attend a wedding on time. Disappointing view from Room 7 and 8 even though booking was made 7 months earlier. When this was mentioned to the staff at reception, we were told we had not paid extra for the view. The staff members in the dining room were very helpful and friendly.

Great location

Great for reflection and relaxation, and surprisingly exceptional for remote work

We really enjoyed our stay, it's quite an unique experience.

There is a lovely spa and gym. The hotel has interesting rooms. The food is Ok, not so great for vegetarian. Some of the staff not as gracious as at other Handpicked Hotels

Great stay. In house team were exceptional especially in the restaurant and bar

The staff were superb and couldn’t have done enough to help in so many ways - from Check-in to helping us with an early breakfast as we had to leave earlier than their normal hours on a Sunday. Our room on the top floor had beautiful views and lunch outside in the sun on the terrace was fabulous. Our only disappointment was that the bar food on a Saturday evening was poor - I am sure had we eaten in the restaurant it would have been fine but perhaps a different chef does the bar food - some was dry and overcooked and the fish and chips were soggy and disappointing. We should have said more at the time but were too polite. The spa was busy but nice, we didn’t spend much time in there as it was too crowded but that’s not anyone’s fault and is to be expected. We would go back for the quality of the staff alone.

Our third stay love it!

Rooms need updated. Very unlike most of their “ sister “ properties. Bathrooms poor shape and windows filthy. Exterior grounds in need of desperate tidying weeds all over and poorly exterior grounds keeping. Very disappointed with this hotel .. “ Handpicked “ hotel group is known for much superior interiors and exteriors than this one.

Fantastic team. Food ok. Not that much choice but fresh and tasty. Breakfast ok. Not vast choice, but enough to fill you up. Spa etc very good. Beautiful building. Spacious bedrooms

Staff in the breakfast room were delightful, the breakfast buffet had a good range and hot menu was delicious. The rooms were lovely and very quiet, you couldn't hear much noise from surroundings at all, spa was lovely too

Beautiful building, staff very friendly, pretty good gym, pool and spa. Breakfast was decent. Evening meal was nice, but vey expensive for what it was.

Perfect stay

lovely stay will defo revisit

The lady at breakfast (sorry didn’t get her name but brunette, well spoken) was brilliant, fantastic service with a smile. The full English breakfast was incredible - compliments to the chef

staff

Staff were amazing, the restaurant manager, Alfie and Caroline in the restaurant, stand out. But I have to say all the staff in every department couldn’t do enough. The property is amazing with amazing views across a beautiful valley. I had an exceptional breakfast two days running and Sunday lunch all of which were delicious and incredible value. The portions were superb and I was very full after every meal! I was in the Elliot suite which was amazing with lovely extra touches such as a stocked mini bar and hostess trolley with cocktails and all the equipment to make more! The bed was so comfortable and as I said before the views were amazing! I stay in lots of high end hotels and this is right up there with the best in my opinion, I will be back!

Excellent, great value for money for a spa weekend trip near London

The staff were so helpful, polite and friendly.

Clean room, very comfy bed and pillows, water and milk in room fridge.
