Lovely 2 night stay here. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The food was lovely all be it slightly over priced. Afternoon tea was definitely worth it though. Everything was pretty clean apart from our room, we didnt sleep amazing as there was cobwebs in the corners of our room and I had to remove about 5 spiders before we could even settle down. I know its that time of year but they must have been in there a while as there was cobwebs. Other than that the room was spacious, comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Again the staff were so friendly and couldnt have been more

Great wedding venue would have had 5 stars but there were delays of over an hour for the afternoon food and evening reception. Only one bar /barman for a wedding reception with 50+guests not good either.

We like older hotels especially country houses that have been adapted. This hotel fits the bill exactly. Our room was in the stable block and was spacious, well equiped and with a very big, newly refurbished bathroom. The food is very good we'll cooked and prepared. We had what must have been the biggest roast dinner we have ever had and it was excellent. Breakfast is freshly cooked to order with the usual choices associated with hotel fare. The staff were pleasant and helpful with humour and knowledge. So, why only 4 stars? The answer is no beer. The bar only stocks brown ale, no bitter, no larger
