Staying overnight - reviewers describe a peaceful, historic house with warm service and food that comes in for repeated praise.
Before you go
This is a working hotel and wedding venue rather than a standard open-to-the-public house, so arrange a stay, a meal or a visit in advance rather than turning up.
Most of the reviews here come from people who have stayed, eaten or married at the hall rather than day visitors. Guests describe the staff as polite, attentive and well organised, with one wedding party naming their planner as a particular strength, and the food is praised repeatedly, from dinner and fine dining to afternoon dishes such as beef bourguignon and sticky toffee pudding. The hall, its history and the well-kept gardens are frequently mentioned as part of the appeal, and several reviewers say they intend to return. Criticism is minor and isolated, with one visitor finding a cheesecake portion small while rating the rest highly.

“Went for food here in the afternoon and it was very nice. Beef bourguignon was amazing and generous portions, chicken was also very good. Cheesecake portion was very small but the sticky toffee pudding was lovely. Staff…”- Sian Thompson, visitor review
