A nice experience, but wouldn't stay again. Very expensive. The staff are excellent.
Pros:

We were attending a friends celebration, so had a set menu. The food and the service was excellent. In the evening, we had a tapas style snack in the bar, again could not fault food or service. The staff are a real credit to the hotel.

Cons:

The kindest way to explain is that the hotel is 'tired'. The decor is dated and clearly needs a refresh. The room was lovely, and the furniture excellent quality, but it just looked a very outdated.

The drinks are very expensive, I had two glasses of wine, they were £14.40 each.....

Just perfect
Pros:

A high quality hotel with beautiful rooms and fabulous gardens. A comfortable bed and the homemade biscuits with a coffee machine was a nice touch. We will certainly be back.

Excellent hotel ín many respects but let down by food issues
Pros:

The positives
Our room in the stable block was spacious and comfortable albeit no slippers or dressing gown- latter could be requested.
Staff were friendly
Grounds and setting lovely
Breakfast was excellent 9 out of 10

Cons:

The negatives
The dinner prices were exorbitant at £15/£45/£12 for starter/main/dessert
On first night our steaks were awful - my Ribeye was the worst ever all fatty and sent it back with Karen's Sirloin which was tasteless. We had started and did not want replacements and were not charged.
Although dress code was smart casual some diners came in restaurant in shorts and jeans- a five star restaurant
On the second night Karen's halibut was raw in the middle and inedible - again not charged for meal except £4 for chips and pear dessert £12,
Some staff needed training in restaurant etiquette - trying to take one plate away whilst other still eating and not allowing tasting wine before pouring both glasses.

Overall, it was a convenient stay for the wedding on the property, but we wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely, and the grounds were beautiful to walk around. However, our room felt quite run-down and in need of an update. It was very stuffy, so we had to keep the window open, but unfortunately the staff smoking area was directly below, which wasn’t pleasant.

The lady on reception, though, was lovely and very helpful.

Cons:

However, our room felt quite run-down and in need of an update. It was very stuffy, so we had to keep the window open, but unfortunately the staff smoking area was directly below, which wasn’t pleasant.

I appreciate it’s a period property, but it does need more maintenance, and the staff weren’t particularly helpful when we asked for directions several times.
