The hotel is located up a narrow, winding path with some unmarked speed bumps. There is a spacious parking lot and the staff are friendly and efficient. We attended a funeral reception and found the tea, scones, and cakes to be of excellent quality and very delicious. It was a somber occasion, but the sunny weather, tasty food, and beautiful surroundings made it a pleasant experience.

There were two weddings going on but the staffing was good and that wasn't at all an issue. Only problem was that when a member of the wedding party cut her foot on glass, a member of staff had no clue what to do and left us with a very poorly stocked first aid kit and no help. This was resolved once a more senior member of staff came.

What a beautiful peaceful place. We stayed in two different rooms in the manor house one standard and a premium room both were lovely with views of the gardens and very comfortable. The premium room had a free standing claw bathtub situated in front of a large window where one can take a luxurious bath while looking out at the woodlands and gardens and listen to the birds. The young girl at the front desk that checked us in was very good but the eastern European ? young man that checked us out was bleary eyed, confused and completely incompetent. At breakfast there was an older women collecting dishes each morning and twice we had our plates taken away before we could finish. Initially we were a little worried about noise as two of the nights they hosted weddings but all was wrapped up and quiet by 10 pm. Great value for money here.

Unfortunately, there was missing cutlery on the table and the service was a bit slow in refilling our tea and coffee. However, the scones were exceptionally light and served warm, which was a pleasant surprise especially for those of us with gluten-free needs.
