A very attractive hotel near the town
Good parking available
Lovely bedroom
First impressions very good with attractive grounds and gardens
Dining room was a modern bistro and lacked the ambience of the rest of the hotel although the food was very good.
The conservatory breakfast room was very crowded and oppressively hot - we had to move through a very crowded space to the buffet table next door to make toast etc.
Hotel was in a good location with path to burghley house. Hotel is nice and breakfast was lovely.
We was put in a room right next to wedding disco and base was making the room vibrate. Hotel didnt have courtesy of telling us and phone didn't work to call reception. Music went on till 12am
Stayed in a fantastic room (no 11 Chinois). Superb decor and comfort.
room was ecxcellent
it is what is- a fine , small hotel
Breakfast
Staff need hospitality training.
No Lighting to find entrance. Needs signage
The building's interior, each passage, each common room was kept as a reflection of the estate. The food was good. Although an oversalted avocado toast was inedible.
The gardens were nice.
The staff were friendly and accommodating!
The sparseness of shelving in or near the bathing area in the guest room. A stool was provided.
Breakfast was good and had a good selection
Although the room decor was old it was in character with the building. But the best thing was I had THE best sleep I’ve had in a long long time. The bed was so comfortable.
Breakfast was so good. Opted for the Kipper which was delicious. Couldn’t fault the place
Bought discounted tickets for Burleigh house. Quick short cut from hotel to the house which incorporated a beautiful walk.
Great cocktails
Nothing
Great location, beautiful surroundings and atmosphere, lovely small cosy room, well designed, stylish, super clean bathroom. Delicious breakfast.
The price (only joking)
Traditional and comfortable
Great location. Clean and comfortable.
Coffee machine could do with instructions on use.
Stunning setting and lovely building. The room was really amazing.
