Would love to stay again in the Summer and explore the grounds. Natalie was so welcoming, helpful, nothing was too much of a problem. Mike/Mick (night porter) was also friendly and helpful. Great view from dining room over the gardens. We had a four poster bed but found it uncomfortable. The bedroom was lovely and the spa bath was great. A short walk to the High Street where there were a number of pubs if you didn't want to stay in the hotel. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### L K 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fab selection at breakfast, very elegant rooms and public areas.
