Would recommend the hotel, maybe not the restaurant
Pros:

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting.
Clean modern rooms, with a very comfy bed.

Cons:

The restaurant was very overpriced with very average food. Not really suitable for gluten free. Not much effort made to accommodate gf, some gf toast available and 2 mains only.

Pros:

Room was great, staff very helpful, food was excellent. Will certainly book again.

Cons:

This is very fussy but while in restaurant we got seated and a few mins later another couple came in and they get drinks and order taken and drinks delivered and starters delivered before our order was taken., Also the desserts my partners was brought to the table and I had to remind staff I had ordered a dessert several mins later. Only small gripes in an overall excellent stay.

Time away
Pros:

The building is stunning, and the grounds, suite was amazing. The staff were great.

Cons:

The food for vegetarian, pescatarian was bland and overpriced.

However, the breakfast menu was much better.

The suite being as big and beautiful as it is could have done with a fridge and aircon.

Pros:

Lovely surroundings and gardens, friendly reception staff.

Cons:

Found out I’d paid double what my nephew had paid for 1 night for same room! I’d Emailed hotel to ask for early check in as wedding party room wasn’t ready on arrival didn’t offer option to use another room to get ready had to get dressed in ladies room.
