Beautiful hotel and surroundings. We were wedding guests for the steel/leach wedding 10/9/25. Room was lovely. We were VERY disappointed being in a room, 210, with NO view due to the roof being outside our window,

Hotel review

Hotel lovely in great surroundings. Room clean but bathroom needed refreshing.(the door). we had dinner in the bar although a little pricey food was excellent and plenty of it. The only down side was the state of the drive with quite a few pot holes could be a problem if unsteady on your feet and not good on the car tyres.

Lovely stay despite challenges

On arrival reception staff tried hard to find a suitable room for us. My friend has mobility issues and the main house has no lift. A room was found in the West Wing which does. The room was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable, tea and coffee making facilities very welcome. Unfortunately, although the bathroom was large with double wash basins my friend was unable to use the shower which was over the bath. She used the showers in the spa for the duration of our stay. There was a good choice of breakfast hot and cold food and beverages, in pleasant surroundings, with friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend but be prepared if you are visiting with friends or family with limited mobility.
