Beautiful historic building
Pros:

Beautiful grounds and the hotel was a wonderful historic building. All the staff were very friendly, in particular the spa personnel.

Cons:

There is no A/C in the rooms, so my room was very hot. A fan was provided which helped a little. I was not able to open the doors to the balcony, as they were locked. For safety reasons, I suspect.

Elegant and beautiful
Pros:

The hotel was elegant and the spaces including the restaurants and the swimming pool was great. The zodiac restaurant was excellent.

Cons:

The rooms should be a bit renovated to modern standards but being an old manor it's facilities were excellent.

beautiful settings needs attention on customer care
Pros:

the ladies working the day I checked in were amazing

Cons:

ordered room service our food never arrived and we starved all night as it is in the middle of nowhere, when I went downstairs to let them know, the reception staff on late night shift on 2nd of august 2026 kind of laughed at me and was very dismissive. then my partner came down to see what happened and he laughed at him too. so weird. The breakfast is mediocre.

A beautiful countryside retreat with excellent service and atmosphere,m
Pros:

The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere and is set on a beautiful historic estate with lovely gardens and a golf course. During our stay Marriott organized a special event where guests could try golf, which was a nice touch. The outdoor pool was great and became the perfect place to relax during the hot weather. The breakfasts were excellent, and the traditional Afternoon Tea (£50 per person) was a lovely experience. Overall, the property has a unique charm and is perfect for a peaceful countryside getaway.

Cons:

The only major downside was the lack of air conditioning. Unfortunately, we visited during an exceptional heatwave, with temperatures reaching around 40–45°C, and it was extremely difficult to stay comfortably anywhere indoors. The only air-conditioned space we found was the gym. We spent most of our time by the pool just to stay cool, but the heat inside the hotel and rooms was still very challenging. Air conditioning would make a huge difference, especially during unusually hot summer periods.
