“Fantastic Hotel”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Attended a wedding at this venue, but also had a tour of the hotel. What a fantastic location, rooms excellent and big. The food was very good and for an hotel of this nature the cost of drinks was very reasonable.

“Wonderful Country House”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

I stay here for business and it is a great location. A wonderfully converted old country house with stunning reception rooms and very good bedrooms. Many of them based over several rooms that have been knocked through. It is a shame that it does not have a pool but that it is. The food is very good, and friendly service.... More
