The facility is a beautiful historic building with picturesque grounds. Unfortunately we were only there for 1 day. Food and wine were terrific and the very busy owners helped us with some very silly requests to operate the radiator and find global news on the TV. I highly recommend this fine hotel!

This is a lovely hotel, with beautiful spacious grounds . The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are all very helpful. It's in a good location close to the village, the only thing I'd say could be improved is the night food , it's basic pub grub ....the breakfast is fine though .

The hotel was fabulous, it’s right by a lake and is decorated beautifully. The staff were very friendly, especially the lovely guy who checked us in and was looking after the floor during the evening - so helpful!

Needs a refurbishment throughout, but primarily in the bedrooms. Food was okay, but very typical managed house fayre - nothing exciting, but everything edible. Friday night in May at £165 felt relatively poor value. Breakfast is served under hot plates buffet style and is not replenished frequently.

A free drink instead of room service is an excellent idea. Guests really don’t need room service every day if staying multiple nights and, if so minded, can fold the ends of their toilet paper into little triangles themselves!
