    I haven’t a thing to say!

    It was like stepping back in time away from the busy noisy life we have today. The grounds were beautifully maintained. The decor was delightful.

    Lovely hotel perfectly located slightly away from from the busy areas yet very accessible. The afternoon tea and breakfast was superb. The staff definitely go the extra mile for you. Very clean and well maintained with its original character. Thank you for the upgraded room and we would definitely return and also recommend to friends and family.

    Unfortunately the bathroom let the room down. Although the hotel is 4 star, when we went into the bathroom you felt as if you’d been downgraded which was a bit of a shame. However it was clean, just a bit tatty and not what you would expect. It felt as the room had been refurbished but they’d forgotten to do the bathroom.

    A great stay with a nice room. Great location in a beautiful old building. Very friendly staff and breakfast was nice.

    The car park was full so we had to park round the corner in the hotel’s annex car park. Next time I’d book a disabled space.

    It’s a beautiful building which has been maintained really well. It has been decorated beautifully in keeping with the style of the building. Our room was perfect with lots of space.The staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was lovely. We will definitely stay there again.

    The only minor thing was on the way in to the hotel I didn’t recognise the entrance to reception, because you entered via an area where people were having ‘cream teas’. I walked by this & went around the side before coming back and asking the waiter… It was clearly behind him, but maybe a sign would be helpful.

    It was beautiful & elegant, the staff were lovely. We only had breakfast, but the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade. We would definitely stay again & maybe bring our dog as we were told they are welcome in some areas & rooms.
