Good Hotel Guide Review

When the only aim is to relax, the Robinson family’s cosseting Jacobean manor house is happy to oblige. Ringed by walled gardens, with farmland sprawling beyond, the stately property has an intimate, ‘country house feel’ running through its smart, contemporary public spaces. The panelled sitting room is scattered with squashy seating, its walls hung with serene pastoral scenes. Uncluttered chic-rustic bedrooms (in the main house, converted outbuildings and mews cottages) have harmonious heathery and pale hues; some have lovely views over the grounds. Fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden are used in the locally sourced, seasonal modern menus. Along with spa treatments, bicycles and classic cars (extra charge) are available to borrow.

Guest comments

'Amazing service from start to finish. The whole stay was wonderful and we would highly recommend a visit. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay a special one. ' - Joel Thomas Hall - March, 2019
'First visit since the recent refurbishment, updating the main house without detracting from the feel of being in a country house. Kitchen brigade continue to produce excellent food and are more than happy to offer additional menu choices to longer-stay guests. The excellent spa is available for guests' use, and so is the nine-hole golf course. Housekeeping is exemplary. Mews rooms are ideal for individuals who may be less mobile as the main house does not have a lift. From reception through to the gardeners, the staff make it a most pleasant pace to stay. ' - Alwyn Ellis - July, 2016
'One of many visits over the years. Clean, welcoming, comfortable with excellent food. Long- serving staff seem able to instil their enthusiasm to please guests to the new members of staff. Rooms not glitzy but more than adequate with excellent housekeeping. A very pleasant place to stay. ' - Alwyn Ellis - October, 2014
