A lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. We felt like we were in a set from Bridgerton!
Pros:

We stayed in the Gardeners cottage which was ideal. It was peaceful and picture perfect and we had a lovely walk around the grounds in the evening before dinner. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was clean and perfectly ready to go when we arrived home from a long day of being on our feet at a local exhibition.

Cons:

Nothing to really complain about.

Stunning location & grounds. Could be a National Trust house!
Pros:

Stayed here many times : the approach, gardens & location truly exceptional : like a National Trust house! The main building is fabulous, very grand, if a little tired in places (some of the bedrooms in the main house) : this time, I stayed in the stable block which was more modern. Good value vs other hotels in the area and close by to the lovely village of Hartley Wintney.
A nice change from character-less corporate hotels!

Good and would have been a perfect client journey if weren't for those two little details.
Pros:

The surrounding areas. The room. And the building . The fact that English heritage fusion with the present is expectacular is a really nice tge whole atmosphere.
The staff very kind and welcoming and the breakfast was beatiful.

Cons:

The bath was bloqued we had to unbloqued ourselves in tge middle of the night,and a very bad smell came out from the drainage.
I have ordered a club sandwich and even the waiter double checked twice about the type of bread and said brown bread I has been given white bread.
