The setting and the main house are beautiful

The new house is not really to our taste

Great hotel with lovely garden and cosy communal rooms.

Our bedroom was nice with good bathroom but in the eaves with no proper windows to look out Fine for one night

Surroundings

Bar ran out of beer food big great and ran out at the wedding

The hotel is lovely and in a very unusual, beautiful area of the city. The breakfast room is very pretty , overlooking beautiful gardens and the breakfast was very good. The staff are excellent and the room very comfortable.

Having traveled around the world, this is one of the greatest gem hotels I've stumbled upon. It is a truly gorgeous house on lovely, well-tended grounds. I can't imagine why you wouldn't come here for a weekend from anywhere in the UK. We stopped here before beginning the Hadrian's Wall Path (I hope somehow that tags this comment so other walkers find this beautiful respite) and were delighted by the facilities and hospitality.

All in all what's not to like

The Rhubarb, ginger and strawberry trifle while the flavour was perfect the presentation was ugly and definitely not of a standard that I would expect, the portion size was far too big and the presentation very unrefined.

Liked the spacious room and the windowseat in the bay window overlooking the garden was a bonus! Room was clean and comfortable. Delicious meal in the restaurant and breakfast the following morning. Friendly staff.

There was nothing to dislike!
