I loved the old style of the property. The rooms were no fuss but still comfy. My room was a bit chilly and i couldnt turn the heating on but they are original single glazed windows in a victorian building so whay did i expect!
Concrete floors (even with carpet you can tell) i would bring slippers if youre staying longer than a night!
The water pressure was low so the shower wasnt fabulous because the room was so cold it made me feel colder.
I would stay again, it was really good value!

What is this place? What is it trying to be and who does it want to attract?! The biggest thumbs up was for the warmth and friendliness of the staff what they lacked in service expertise or indeed any kind of knowledge about the hotel they made up for in personality. We were exiled to the ‘family wing’ as the parents of two under 3’s. Don’t let the grand title fool you, this ‘wing’ was a creepy patched on 70’s (?) extension, across a run down car park and the back of the hotel into a labrynth of clinical feeling corridors up 2 flights of stairs (that was fun with all the detritus of small children and a pushchair… ) to a decent sized but painfully dingey room where the term ‘no frills’ comes to mind. The rooms felt half decorated - minimal storage, flimsy towels, no rugs or art. It was absolutely freezing and of course the radiators didn’t work. The bed was huge though and the bunk bed was one of the highlights of the trip for our 3 year old. The bathroom was cold and basic and the shower was a joke- a cheap chrome head that sprayed a fine, tepid mist over you and took forever to rinse under. So off the the restaurant we went where service was chaotic and the food was over priced and mediocre. Overall I felt like I was at a YMCA hostel and by the end of the trip I was exhausted and desperate to leave to get back to some basic comfort. I don’t think I would return.

2 night mini break.
From the outside the building is amazing. The entrance and first few areas are good but the rooms massively let down this hotel. We had to ask to be moved to another room as after the first night of zero sleep due to what sounded like a cruise ship plant room running all night long we couldnt take anymore. The staff were great and very helpful and happily moved us. The 2nd room was much better. None of the rooms have t.v.'s. They are very small and 2 star style. For the price charged I would have expected better. Shower in forst room went hot cold hot cold but had good pressure (basement level room). 2nd room temperature stayed constant but pressure was not good. Very limited space for hanging or unpacking. Much less than a metre of floor space around the bed.
I was nervous having read some bad reviews but we had a great time. The property grounds are amazing and the walk with the groundsman was really interesting.
The room was nice, fairly simple but with a big bed.
The food at Elodie was fantastic and I would definitely recomend trying some of the coktails in there.
Good option if you want to have a short break near greenery and wildlife.
The person checking us in gave incorrect directions to our room. The building is very old with long hallways, winding stairs and there was no one available to help with luggage.
At weekends the dining rooms are busy and noisy. Many young children, loud music, dogs. Sunday night and Monday morning were much more peaceful. Beautiful grounds.
Not a good experience. Two rooms had no water and so the guests had to relocate and then when I woke up the following morning there was no water in my room either. I had to go to one of the other rooms to take a shower.
