Good Hotel Guide Review

Fun time, mucking-in time and adult ‘me time’ are all part of the deal at this rambling Jacobean manor turned child-friendly and dog-friendly hotel, with extensive grounds. It was the first venture for Nigel Chapman’s popular Luxury Family Hotels (see also Fowey Hall, Fowey, and Moonfleet Manor, Fleet), and while the business has been sold, we are promised that it will be pleasure as usual. The house is ‘beautiful but quirkily unstuffy’, with unusual touches: a fairground carousel bear here, a sphinx there. Lounges have blazing fires, baggy sofas – and toy boxes. Family and interconnecting bedrooms, baby video monitoring, babysitting, an Ofsted crèche, games room, swimming pools and a spa make for complete relaxation. The children won’t be bored, with nature trails, fruit to pick, eggs to collect and even soap-making and pond-dipping. They can enjoy high tea or family meals in the orangery, with candlelit fine dining using a wealth of home-grown produce for adults. A trusted reader this year enjoyed a birthday celebration: ‘The staff were fantastic, helpful at every stage; the food was delicious.’ (Fiona Miller)
