⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stay – peaceful, beautiful, and welcoming
Pros:

We stayed here over the last May Bank Holiday and had such a lovely experience from start to finish. Everything was amazing.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful and so well kept, with lots of little hidden spots where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful sound of the birds. It really felt like a little escape.
All the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always smiling, which made us feel at home straight away. The owner was also extremely friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in the business.
We absolutely loved the breakfast included with the room price – plenty of options for everyone, from continental breakfast to a full English breakfast, all freshly cooked and very tasty.
For an old Manor House, the room was spotless and very well maintained. We had room service every day, a handy small fridge in the room, and the shower had strong water pressure with lovely hot water – always appreciated after a long day out!
Overall, it was a wonderful stay in a charming and relaxing place. We would happily return and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
