Very nice old hotel, a lot of stairs to our room could be hard for elderly people Breakfast was ok But overall a good experience

As many others have said, it’s an old building that needs a bit of TLC.

Wonderful location, reception staff were particularly helpful . The bed was very comfy I had a very good nights sleep.

The facilities were a little old fashioned and it felt in need of a little TLC.

Very impressive building, well converted into a modern hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and lots of open spaces around the estate.

I had indicated a bedroom on the ground floor would be appreciated via Booking.com as my husband has difficulty with steps but was advised that rooms for disabled people had been taken. He did manage the many steps within the hotel. A handrail would be very helpful near the steps leading to the seats/outdoor table area. A pot of tea or coffee is always preferable to a range of tea bags, sachets etc.... fine for within the bedroom, but not the restaurant (breakfast).

Our room was clean and comfortable. All staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed our pre-booked evening meal with our party ordering chicken, steak and duck respectively. We enjoyed Eton Mess afterwards. We pre-booked breakfast at £10 per person, otherwise it would have been £11.99. There was a good choice of cereal, fruit, yogurt, croissants and a hot breakfast - self service.

No lift! No staff in the bar serving drinks after dinner - presumably all busy at the large wedding in the ballroom?

Impressive building with a lot of character, surrounded by lovely woodland walks. Spacious room, bed very comfortable, modern bathroom with efficient walk-in shower. Evening meal and breakfast were excellent.

Beautiful hotel, lovely grounds to walk around. Rooms were lovely and not just copy pasted exactly the same like in other hotels.

Perhaps a quieter room but the staff and the food were exceptional.

A little noisy during the night due to machinery (I think)

The breakfast wasn't as good as I had expected.

Very quiet. Good spacious room with a bath.

Our room was fairly basic, not helped by the very small shower being extremely difficult to control water temperature wise. It either ran stone cold or very hot. The television aerial feed had been disconnected although this was fixed for the second day of our stay. One of the bedside lights had also been disconnected (unplugged from the wall socket). Also the room overlooked a very rough and untidy yard used as a store for recyclables. To be fair, this wasn't our intended room as we opted to be moved on account of a potentially noisy party taking place near to the original room; the room in which we were relocated was quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful building, super location, comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Especially enjoyed the terrace for summer relaxation. Excellent food, reasonably priced.

Lovely setting. Beautiful building and bar area. Staff all very friendly. Breakfast was very good value. Building a little tired but very comfortable, well-equipped room, large bathroom and very reasonably priced.

Cant say we didn't like anything but if you wanted to be critical at all you could say the decor is now looking a bit dated and tired and could do with a lick of paint etc. It's an old building so gets away with that more than a newer hotel would. The gardens don't seem as well kept as they used to be and could easily be tided up with no major effort.

Been staying here on and off for over 30 years. The Hotel is an old building with plenty of character. The restaurant was very quiet when we went in 8.00pm (Friday night), The food was really nice and good value we couldn't fault it at all. The buffet breakfast was also very good and excellent value. The room (King James) was large with comfy 4 poster bed and a small old balcony. Very quiet on a night time and through the day, all we could hear with the windows open was the wind blowing the trees.

Room is dated as expected but the bedside lights don’t work off !

Declan on reception was fantastic I had emailed to make sure we could check in early as we had a wedding and they made sure all was ready for us. Breakfast was lovely too although I’d say they could give more fruits as a option

Lovely meal in the evening. Great value.

It felt a bit tired and creaky, but to be expected of a very old historical building - the room did not look like the picture I booked but as it was only For one night didn’t see the point of moaning.

Lovely old building, the grounds were very peaceful. Staff were very friendly, it was super hot and there was a fan in the room which was a nice touch.

Not much, for anyway reading this review, to put it frankly, it’s an old building so don’t complain about the stairs up to rooms!

Gorgeously aged steeped with local history in stunning grounds

This is an old building but does require attention and is quite frankly shabby, which is a shame as it could be magnificent. I stay here as it's close to visiting family. But as a single traveller it's over priced and doesn't offer value for money.

Breakfast and evening meal were delicious and good value, and the staff are lovely
