This is a beautiful property. Whoever has completed the interior design and decorating should be commended - very classy. We happened to visit on a weekend where the weather was stunning, which made everything so much nicer and meant we could spend almost all day outdoors enjoying the grounds and patio area. If the weather wasn't great I suspect we'd have got bored. The staff are very good, the food was excellent. The property and grounds are very clean and tastefully furnished. Compared to our spa hotels, I would say the gym and spa at this hotel is a big let down. The gym is very small and limited in terms of equipment. The spa is very basic, not much more than what you'd expect at a half decent gym. Overall we had a great time, significantly help by the stunning weather. If we were to visit again it would be on a similarly warm day and it would probably be just a day trip.

Would stay again

Lovely room and grounds. Only slight quibbles would be the shower (very close to the wall making it difficult to get fully under and not very powerful) and breakfast (could have been hotter). But overall nice place.

Place is stunning HOWEVER please make sure you pre book the spa as it doesn’t come included in the room (which is silly) we booked this for my girlfriends birthday and found out on the day spa is fully booked even though the hotel seemed dead. everything is clean staff aren’t too bad, food and service was bang average food was poor tbh, girlfriends chicken wasn’t cooked properly and for the price of everything its was below par compared to when we went to Rowhill grange the year before and it was amazing this place was a real let down for us.

Exceptionally good

This was by far one of the best stately manor/Halls we have stayed at, The House is breathtaking and spacious, free parking and breakfast was included in the Price. The fine dining was excellent but pricey, Therr was a cheaper option in the lounge bar. Drinks expensive but well worth it for the experience. Spa and hydra pools not included but was very nice. The best thing about the hotel were the staff. Polite, helpful and attentive, by far the best service we have had in a long while. Thoroughly impressed and highly recommended
