I decided to treat myself to stay here and booked in for one night. The staff were extremely helpful friendly and immediately I felt at home in the place there are large grounds to explore and the room has a large desk and window overlooking the gardens and felt a good place to work from. It is also a conference centre so the room reflected that. The breakfast was impressive self-service excellent local produce and again extremely helpful friendly staff. I slept very well. There are some noise to be heard through the walls of other guests, and decided to extend my stay for another evening. There is lots to explore on site and in the local area. I found it in extremely peaceful and grounded place to stay

Stayed here as part of a conference, absolutely stunning venue, food fantastic, staff and service were superb.The gardens are wonderful and huge, Entry is free if you're a staying guest.Room was a double and ensuite, was very clean and comfortable although heating didn't work at all and it was chilly in the evenings.

Rooms were ok, need a bit of TLC though. Beds were comfortable. Grounds are lovely to walk round. Breakfast is self service and was good, personally, I don't like self service breakfasts. We had the bbq one evening, it was OK, not great and the portions were small, my husband was still hungry. Majority of staff are young, but they were all friendly and gave good service.

This is a lovely place for a cup of coffee once you have the negotiated the overpriced parking and the terrible potholes. It's nice to just wander, but beware of the RHS garden that costs more than the coffee.

Stayed here for 4 nights in August with my husband as part of our break away.Will start with the positives first - room nice and clean, breakfasts really nice and lots to pick from, parking included and free access to the grounds.Now for the negatives - wedding on whilst we were there which consisted of a lot of noise until midnight on our last night which wasn’t ideal with a 6hr drive home the next morning. I completely appreciate a wedding being there as the place has lovely surroundings however we weren’t made aware of this when we booked and had we known we would have booked somewhere else as it was like a nightclub. Another massive issue was the guests staying in the same wing as us especially those in the room above ours. Constant banging of doors all day and night resulting in every night having broken sleep which was really frustrating. Did bring this up with the bar manager on our 3rd night as he was moving another guest at 10.30pm to a new room due to issues with theirs. The following morning the manager of the hotel did get in touch, offered to move us rooms which I declined due to having to move all our belongings and not actually being moved away from the noise that was to come with the wedding that day. I did explain how the experience whilst staying at the hotel had put a downer on our break and that I felt we had been ripped off. She went away and sorted a partial refund for us which is appreciated.As lovely as the place is, I really wouldn’t recommend it to anyone due to the issues we had making it impossible to actually get some sleep.Lastly I have never stayed anywhere where there is no staff available at night. They finish at 7/8pm and that’s it then till the next morning. This I feel is a little on the unsafe side of how to run things in case an emergency happens who can help??

Room was amazing and such good value. Food at The White Hart was lovely but the staff struggled when busy. The Barn Cinema was fabulous. Breakfast lovely especially the sausages. Loved the guest discount card, saved a lot of money.
