    “Our stay was made so very special by the staff. The room service was excellent, and everyone went more than the extra mile to help. The hotel is incredible, with loads of interesting and beautiful period features. The communal areas (lounge/drawing room, dining room, etc) are stunning. The grounds and gardens are wonderful. Our rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable with facilities and that other hotels would not have even thought of. Good sized car park and loading/unloaded pull-in in front of the hotel entrance so handy if one has a lot of luggage. And the porters are in hand to help. We were only there for two nights and were too busy to take full advantage of the facilities and services on offer, but we will try to stay again in the future.”

  • Perfect wedding anniversary treat
