Nice location, welcoming check- in with good food, bar and restaurant. There is a particularly good variety at the breakfast buffet and individual yoghurts are great to see rather than a big bowl. Staff warm, kind and helpful. Having seen some poor reviews after booking we were apprehensive however we had an enjoyable stay. We didn’t see or experience anything disappointing that other customers seem to have experienced.

Property is a little tired and needs a refresh although our room and the public areas that we used were fine. There’s a pretty big hole in the driveway to watch out for on arrival. The lift is currently out of action. We’ve been visiting this hotel for over 40 years with it in various ownership and because of its countryside position and grounds still has great potential.

Myself & my son loved the stay! The staff couldn’t have been more kind & helpful and really did make my me & my son feel so welcome! We really appreciated the complimentary breakfast you allowed my son to have! 10/10 for the staff & food & drinks reasonably priced! So thank u for a brilliant weekend!

Only downside was the room itself was pretty run down, ripped curtains, flakey paint, extractor fan caked in dust in the bathroom, no air con & damage throughout the hotel I.e leaks so i do think it’s a slight rip off to charge customers for a 4* room when in reality that’s not what u pay for. Windows were filthy with cobwebs & spiders all over the room. I have some pictures I will attach! I am only sharing this with you to consider updating or reduce ur pricing to reflect the reality, not looking to leave a negative review.

Fabulous breakfast choice on offer and well cooked and staff very willing to please and be kind whenever you asked for anything!! Best stay with food in a long time, and an army of staff keep it ship-shape on time. Lovely atmosphere.

Servery temperature was not keeping food toasty, mushrooms were noticeably cool. Due to late booking for a nearby event, appeared to be long walk to room, so an offer of help or some rear access for luggage would have been a great idea, if possible and escorted. I realise that one staff on desk as we arrived late at night so not unexpected to have limited staff after midnight. Great place, I would recommend it and use it again. Xx

Food prepared for guests in afternoon following a funeral. Staff set up at side of bar with enough seating for us all. Special dietary requirement for an individual guest was catered for without fuss. Bar snack menu was very limited but tasty.

Breakfast was extremely disappointing we cancelled breakfast on second day. Coffee and tea cold from pump flasks not worth the cost. Eggs were scrambled and for some reason orange! This part of hotels needs extreme reevaluation.

I had a request that was originally deemed not possible, however having reached out again all was accepted. I feel the hotel is what people might describe as "dated". I however appreciate it's NOT a modern chain hotel. I like wardrobes and draws, even a hair dryer. this hotel also had a fan AND an iron and board in the wardrobe! I took my breakfast rather late, but I was able to still eat a full English breakfast.

I did not remember to point it out to the receptionist, but I felt the shower could do with a new head.

Excellent value for money, clean comfortable toom with good wardrobe and drawer space,, comfortable bed. Breakfast offered plenty of choice, and included very good bacon. This is an independent hotel where the owners are clearly trying very hard

Hotel is on an historic site with extensive grounds but is not pretty., with many extensions to original core. However, if you are looking for a good stopover or base for exploring the area and even London, it represents good value.

All went well. I The rooms are situation in a bit of a maze and the hotel needs a little updating. However the staff were really friendly and efficient. The bed was comfortable and the room satisfactory. The breakfast was only OK. See below

The breakfast could have been better. It seemed very sparse and not much fruit. Jam and marmalade were in tiny packets and I had to request marmalade and had the last one that they had!! However it was OK.

Quiet, nice grounds, good location

A couple of minor things could have been improved in the room - bedside light not working, shabby frayed curtains, safety catch on window easy to remove. Also our room was a long walk up and down steps and corridors from the reception!

The welcome at the hotel was very friendly and efficient. The location was perfect, set back from the road there was no traffic noise. Any request I made was granted.

The only complaint I could make was the cleanliness of the toilet seat. Everywhere and everything else was absolutely spotless, but when I lifted the seat I was surprised.

It’s clean and smart. Good is delicious. Room was nice and met all the basic needs.

Bit over priced. My course colleagues stayed in a nearby hotel as they could not afford room price though we were training on site. Furnishings, doors etc outdated. No automated door disabled guests or guests with bags. Staff can be rude and disconnected. With TLC would be amazing, lots of space to add spa facilities to expand on guest facilities.
