Beautiful property. We were very pleased by the friendly and welcoming staff. The rooms are charming, clean, and full of character. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a larger room that was tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Transportation was easy to-and-from town using uber. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Lovely Place

We booked it literally that morning and everything was straightforward, easy to check in and the room was amazingly spacious for what we paid. Only one brief encounter with the receptionist who was very pleasant, beautiful area.

Big country house, if don't want to be in centre

We stayed in the main house. Lovely setting, feels very grand. Only stayed one night but had a great stay. Everything was clean. Bed super comfy. Shower massive. We paid for the breakfast which was good and brought to the table. Service was polite and attentive throughout. App wasn't great, but reception sorted a key card straight away no fuss. M11 is a gentle drone in the background.if open the windows. Can walk to the park and ride in 5 mins to get a bus in. Uber was £14 back from centre. Cheaper and nicer than staying in the centre. Loads of parking. Had a nice walk in the morning out around. Gardens and in to the next village. Would wholly recommend.

Loved my stay there, it is a beautiful property with stunning grounds and reasonabley priced for each night. The only let down was the breakfast, we didnt think it was worth the money and it was cold. Apart from vending machines there isnt any other way to get food and drink.

Lovely manor house with great comforts.

A lovely relatively quiet old manor house, just off the M11. Rooms well insulated for heat, 2 windows didn’t close easily in my room, but other guests seemed to slam them shut. Bed was huge and very comfortable; the bathroom was clean and the domestic staff maintained the room daily. I did drive past a couple of times as i thought the main iron gates were a service entrance, but not. Its a sharp turn into the 'drive' and pull up to the gates which will open automatically. The Receptionist was very helpful too. I didn’t have the breakfasts as too pricey for my budget.

Fairly easy to find and check in quick. Room smallish but ok and nice bathroom. No evening meal service on site but pubs not far away. Close to park and ride so easy to get into the city. Overall good value for money

Ignore the location

Do not let the position of this hotel influence your decision. It might be near the motorway but the ambience and style of the house was wonderful.The staff were welcoming and friendly with an excellent breakfast offered.

We arrived late, the key for my room was left as instructed. Room was clean the bed was comfy. The only negatives are the room layout meant that when the door was open it felt like you were stepping straight into the bed and the soundproofing between rooms could be better.
