Very pleasant location and delightful gardens.Dinner was excellent value with a wide choice and good service. The wonderful setting and the superb restuarant. Nice setting with lovely grounds. Godd value. Beautiful place to stay. It did what it said on the tin. There were no major disappointments although a vegetarian option requested was not available on the first day but was thereafter. We enjoyed walking round the lovely garden and the view of the garden from our room.location and setting. Food was excellent. Restaurant and general ambience. Nice Room and Clean. Fantastic setting and a stunning building - good facilities and room rates reasonable. The building and staff were good, as was the food.The (formal) restaurant. There is a fixed £30 price and if you are a vegetarian (like me) you will still be hungry after eating there. There is an alternative lighter fare restaurant, though, which I didn't try. I found a pub 1 mile away which serves excellent food. Bathroom was perhaps a little tired, but it didn't aseem to matter! Bedroom and bathroom spotless. Club restaurant lacked character/atmosphere.bedrooms too hot, need updating with air conditioning. There was a wedding reception taking place during our stay for which we were given not prior warning and I found the very loud music which kept my friend and I awake until very late followed by the slamming of doors and loud talking of the guests in the corridor after the event inappropriate for a hotel in this price catagory.A little snooty, good job I had a bmw! The Tesco carrier bag got acomment! I should have said I was 6' 2", those beams again. Some very low ceilings and buped heads!. Most of the food was good with occasional not quite so good. Access to the single room booked for my mother failed to inform us that it was up flights of stairs which had she been infirmed she would not have gained access. Also anyone tall would have been in difficulty with celing height. Overall not disable friendly and would not recommend for elderly infirmed or disabled users.not sure where we could walk the website said set in 250 acres - not that easy to see the walking areas. Beds were extremely hard.state of bathroom. The breakfasts --surprisingly poor- in contrast to an excellent dinner. ("floor sweepings" muesli and cereals, cheap yogurts, canned fruit, croissants not heated as offered on menu but left unappetisingly in a pile-- gave an overall impression that it was all emptied out of the cheapest catering packs). They could do a lot better with a few fresh ingredients!. Breakfast was served cold and had to be returned - cooking poached eggs is not difficult!. The internet connection was down for the full length of my stay. rooms could do with updating. The decor of the room we stayed in was rather dated, complete with blue bathroom suite!. The bathroom accommodation is dated but was clean and functional. We had a double bed which was very narrow and found it hard to have a good night's sleep in it. We would have preferred to have less furniture in the room but a wider bed instead. A minor point was that in the retaurant when we had dinner we ordered 2 different bottles of good wine. They arrived at the table ready opened, it is usual to open wine in front of the diners in a restaurant.hotel needs up dating - bathroom very old fashioned. Room and bed (double) was a bit small for two people. Staff unfriendly - stand offish attitude. Clipped manner and wrinkled nose at my attire. After a day travelling and visiting sites (were jeans rather than a suit was suitable attire) - a relaxed evening would have been nice but the NO jeans or trainers in the restaurant was a bit too formal for me. Fixtures and fittings very 'tired' - obviously old and in need of sympathetic refurbishment. Mould on grout in bathroom; yellowing shower curtain etc. Some attention here would improve the guest experience so very much. Also far too many 'Do this / Don't do that' notices strewn around.Room not great, no heating at night, hairdryer not working, tv remote not working, shower no pressure and cold as had a window in it!, no spare blankets.

Hotel information details

The hotel owes its illustrious past to the long line of the Seckford family, and for over 520 years their heritage can still be appreciated. Throughout the hotel, the very best of care has been taken to successfully blend modern facilities with the hotel’s varied and regal past.

Benefitting from its Elizabethan past, large quantities of oak was used in the panelling, ceilings, doors and archways, with intricate carvings depicting the history and splendour of its period. Little touches of history preserve its past with pieces of furniture that once graced Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The panelled lounge of the hotel was once a great hall and in it sits the very chair where King Edward VII was said to have died.

In truly unique surroundings, the courtyard leisure facilities are set inside a magnificent 1550's Tudor Tithe barn, which is adjacent to the hotel. Here you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the large swimming pool and, for those who wish to expend more energy, a fully equipped and modern gymnasium is at your disposal. The hotel also has a health and beauty salon, with a qualified beautician.

In addition there is a conference room facility which provides the perfect area for executive meetings in air conditioned comfort.
