This hotel offers refined luxury but with a lovely homely, cozy feel. It's a little bit quirky due to the age and location of the property, which makes it extremely charming. Everything is very good taste and I'm glad to say that there's not a horrible little UHT milk carton in sight. We adored the peacock, pea hens and guinea fowl who roam the grounds and in Summer it must be glorious to have a drink or two at one of the numerous tables set outside amongst the trees. The bed was sumptuously comfortable, although next time, we would book one of the rooms with a King-size bed, as that is what we are used to at home. The food is absolutely delicious. We had breakfast and dinner during our stay and both were exceptional. We would definitely love to come back.

We don't eat meat, which can be tricky, so always check the menus before we book a hotel. The sample menu on the website had several vegetarian options on the dinner menu, so we were a bit disappointed to see only one starter and one main course option on the night we dined. However, the lovely staff member who served us, did go to the kitchen and the chef offered a couple of extra veggie choices, but they felt like a bit an afterthought so we declined. This is nit-picking though, because the Mushroom Stroganoff we did order was so good that my husband used his dessert spoon to (noisily) scrape the extra sauce off the plate.

The room was spacious and the grounds were lovely.

Exceptionally rude receptionist/bookings manager (older guy). I would absolutely recommend avoiding this hotel because of him. Even though the other staff were very pleasant, he created a horrible atmosphere. The bedroom also smelled of wet dog.

Breakfast cooked to order. A magnificent choice of fruit, meats, etc. Choice of special dishes on dinner menu.

Whilst the access roads to the hotel are easy to drive other roads in the immediate vicinity are extremely narrow and have very limited visibility needing great care to navigate.
