“decent country house hotel”

Good overall, attended a wedding very quiet country house hotel, spacious room and very comfortable, Very easy to reach from London. Pool was not available, food served at the bar was substandard, my bed sheet had blood stains on it but on notifying it was replaced immediately. Reception was too small for the requirement. generally looked under staffed away from the wedding. Perfect as a wedding venue but there is not much else to do within the hotel or in the immediate vicinity

“Total indulgence”

We stayed for my partners 50th birthday with family. We hired a function room with dinner. We were allocated our own personal host for the evening who was brilliant. Food was great. The grounds of the hotel are stunning. A weekend to be remembered.

Goose Fat & Garlic in Sawbridgeworth for something a little special The Orange Tree for fantastic freshly cooked food

“Good value”

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings. Great value at current rates that included a good cooked breakfast and rooms well equipped with flat -screen TV's, WiFi (free) and irons. Location though makes it only sutable really for guests with cars.

“Stately home in extensive grounds”

Given the low price I paid as part of a special 'two night stay' deal I was not expecting anything outstanding. However, the service and location was five star for my overnight stays. The breakfast buffet was also first class and I found the staff helpful and attentive. I did not use the restaurant or other eating options for dinner but will be tempted in future. A major wedding reception on the second evening (Friday) of my stay made it difficult to use all the hotel's general facilities and I suspect the bed in my room could have done with a new matress as it's firmness was variable. I enjoyed extensive walks in the hotel grounds.

Area recommendations
Take advantage of the extensive grounds and woods surrounding the hotel.

“Grounds and building very impressive, meals very pricey and not so good”

The main drawback of this hotel was the price and quality of the evening meal and this was in the lower priced Grill. Also bar drinks were very expensive.

Traveller's tip
Acres of grounds to relax or walk around.
