Room in the barn was not great and therefore very overpriced. Large stains on carpet which need replacing. Overall not worth the money better hotels nearby I expect. We went for a drink in the bar late afternoon on a Sat. The staff were fantastic but as it was very quiet and no atmosphere we ended up going to a local pub instead which was great. Came back for dinner. Quality of the food was amazing however as they got the order wrong. I ended up eating after my husband had finished. Would not go back or recommend

Beautiful setting
Fabulous!!!! Beautiful setting, very picturesque. We went for a temple room, it was on the ground floor with views of the garden. Extremely comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. Staff were really delightful and helpful. Our only gripe is the breakfast…. £40 plus 12.5 service charge is extortionate

The hotel room was clean abit on the small side. We were lucky to get an upgrade which I am thankful for. The only two issues were the food at the bar was not great also you have to pay additional tax which I have never seen at any other hotel I have stayed at. The hotel also had an incentive that they offer £20 towards food and drink which was not honoured which left a sour taste when leaving the hotel. Unfortunately it’s not the £20 that is an issue it’s the principle of it.

Amazing property, beautiful estate, rooms are beautiful, clean and so comfortable. One of the best breakfasts I’ve seen and service is just flawless. We had a minor issue with room billing and team did their best to solve it and make sure we leave on a good note.

A wonderful stay, would 100% go back
A short 1 night trip away the beautiful grounds of this hotel took our breathe away, we really felt we were in the middle of the countryside and the lovely river flowing around only added to this. Our room in the main section was a little small BUT modern, all recently refurbed with underfloor bathroom heating and a lovely comfortable bed and absolutely perfect for our short trip - any more than 3 nights and you'd probably run out of space. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, exceeded my expectations - would definitely visit again when in the area.
