Place is stunning HOWEVER please make sure you pre book the spa as it doesn’t come included in the room (which is silly) we booked this for my girlfriends birthday and found out on the day spa is fully booked even though the hotel seemed dead. everything is clean staff aren’t too bad, food and service was bang average food was poor tbh, girlfriends chicken wasn’t cooked properly and for the price of everything its was below par compared to when we went to Rowhill grange the year before and it was amazing this place was a real let down for us.

Exceptionally good

This was by far one of the best stately manor/Halls we have stayed at, The House is breathtaking and spacious, free parking and breakfast was included in the Price. The fine dining was excellent but pricey, Therr was a cheaper option in the lounge bar. Drinks expensive but well worth it for the experience. Spa and hydra pools not included but was very nice. The best thing about the hotel were the staff. Polite, helpful and attentive, by far the best service we have had in a long while. Thoroughly impressed and highly recommended

A gem

This is an incredible find, I loved it so much that I almost don't want to tell others about it. Absolutley everything was superb. The decor, facilities, food and the staff really were genuinely friendly and professional. Having stayed at many hotels over the years this is the first time in many years that I have had such a wholly positive experience of a hotel, especially the service.

Nice hotel but spa too small and cold. Not a spa destination since no pool either. Water in the shower in the room was cold too.

Mixed feelings overall

Booked through Hotels.com 5 rooms bed and breakfast. Hotel had us down as breakfast only so we had to pay again for it - when I queried they said it was down to Hotels.com, not them. Everyone then had to pay £10 except myself who for some reason was made to pay £15 (despite being told on the phone by reservations when I called to query the bed and breakfast situation that it would be £10). When I queried why I had to pay more, I was met with a smile but no explanation or offer to sort. In te grand scheme of things, £5 is nothing but its the principle. Room was lovely and clean, bar staff were fab, food was nice but the restaurant was soulless.
