check in supposed to be 3.00, room not available until 6.00pm, really not good enough. The hotel did offer a free spa visit the following day, however could not benefit from that as other plans. A room reduction would have been more suitable.

Clean, comfortable, great breakfast, great location.

The room was tiny although booked as a standard double. Could barely walk around the bed only room for one bedside table and the shower flooded every time you opened the shower door. IVY cottage upstairs. I get the impression that if you book through booking.com or similar they will give you the worst rooms presumably as they have to pay a fee.

Wonderful place and wonderful location. Everything was great other than the room.

Whilst it was nice, the room we stayed in definitely needed some TLC! Paint peeling off in the bathroom, tiles cracked, cobwebs above the curtains, couldn't shut the window properly so could hear the noise from the front of the house. Spa was nice but quite small considering it's a 'Champneys Spa Hotel' and you had to go outside to gain entry (which isn't the end of the world but when you're going in the spa in the evening in December in the middle of the rain & wind - not exactly the relaxing start you're looking for!). The breakfast, which was included in our room price, is MASSIVELY over priced. £32 for 2! I've had better breakfasts at a Premier Inn for half the price. You also have to pay extra for anything other than basic coffee.. Overall, I don't think I'd go again. I don't think it's worth the £200 a night price tag (even with booking.com discounts!).

Room and grounds were nice and the staff were great.

Late check-in and mews rooms are a little small

Scenery and spa

Spa hours of opening too restrictive, continental breakfast needs a few more choices, and rooms need a bit of tlc - deep cleaning of bathrooms, carpets need cleaning, heated towell rails in bathroom need switching on to dry towells etc,

Continental breakfast was good, fresh and healthy. Lovely decorations and atmosphere for Christmas, decor wonderful in this period property, stunning location and grounds

Was not aware when booking, that spa access was limited hours. That with minimal dinner slot times we didn’t get much use of the spa.

The building is beautiful. Food delicious and rooms very clean with comfortable beds.

Rooms were a drive away from the property and wall paper was coming off the walls.

Friendly staff. Fabulous property and lovely surroundings.

The location and spa facility were nice, The Room was clean but a little small without any fridge or mini bar. the breakfast was normal. It is worth staying for one or two days.

Shower had black mould in it. Directions to reach room were sparse and not clear. Access to pool limited to after 5pm.

Location good but map showing how to get to different buildings was not great. More outdoor lighting to mark the pathways would be good. Breakfast good.

Sadly standards have slipped. We stay here often but this visit we have noticed a decline in service. Our mews rooms were not very clean, servicing of them was an inconvenient late afternoon and they forgot to finish servicing one of them, leaving the bathroom dirty. Dining was hit and miss with ordinary food and poor service. Laundry is no longer offered which is extraordinary at an upmarket hotel. We won’t be back.

Location

Thought our room was so far to walk within the Manor House building and was underwhelmed at size and furnishings. Was expecting more when you look at the building itself.

Thought structure of building inside and out and surroundings were breathtakingly beautiful 🤩

There was a boiler sound going all night, no hot water and the bath did not drain

Lovely location and exceptional staff

On checking in the bathroom floor was clearly visibly covered in long black hair. Was moved to a new room and upgraded to a suite which was lovely but patio doors didn’t open and one window didn’t lock. Pillows are hard and lumpy.

Lovely property and what I expected. Staff all lovely. Rooms were nice. Food at dinner was good. Breakfast was good. Manager was lovely and the staff did their best when presenting them with any issue.

1. Shower was freezing cold and poor water pressure. We complained nd got moved to a top suite and it was thesame issue. 2. Service at dinner was slow and dining room freezing cold. Forgot side dishes and missed drinks we were charged for and had to dispute Overall a bit underwhelmed considering advertised as luxury etc but was not how we expected it to be....at the price it was.....oh and extra for a cooked breakfast.

It's a beautiful Manor house with a lot of history

The staff were a bit disconnected. (Casual ). The bedrooms and bathrooms are very tired and in need of maintenance and decorating.

A beautiful historic Manor House in fabulous grounds.

Bit dates and some awkward staff moments. Also afternoon tea was cancelled through short voice note with no apology or alternatively with an hour's notice.

Our bed. Much too firm and we couldn’t adjust the room Temperature. So we both got very little sleep. Spa was lovely though and we were able to sleep there

Grounds, spa and food

Stayed in November 2023

Our bed was extremely firm and very uncomfortable which made for 2 very sleepless nights. Felt like we were sleeping on an army/camp bed.

The grounds and the spa facilities. Food was good as well.

Stayed in November 2023

The shower gel in the room was empty. There were random condoms in the safe box. The cleaners cleaned the room very late in the afternoon and they smelled of cigarette. Made me and my wife feel dizzy.

The overall architecture / design of the property was amazing. The pillows were very comfortable. Very serene environment.
