We had been wanting to try here for some time after seeing a recommendation What an absolutely stunning venue Felt like stepping back in time Warm welcome from the hotel reception she guided us to the dining room We approached the bar and was served by a very friendly blond lady who let me try the cider before I bought it. Cider was lovely. The lady went to find out if they had room for us in dining room as the evening was fully booked but as we were early they were able to fit us in. Lovely gentleman seated us to our table didn't catch his name but he had a Liverpool accent Service was friendly and professional Starters we shared the Welsh rarebit it was very good My husband had the fish and chips and I had the burger Everything was fresh hot and delicious The Stilton sauce we ordered was gorgeous Just a quick bite to eat tonight as we are so busy with work We would like to definitely come back when we have more time An overnight and spa would be perfect Thank you for the delicious food a wonderful service Kind Regards Sarah & Ross

We have just had the Sunday lunch sharing platter and it was excellent, beautifully presented and very generous portions of meat as well as all the usual Sunday lunch accompaniments. The service was excellent all in all a wonderful relaxed lunch in beautiful surroundings. We look forward our next visit.

A fabulous stay, in an interesting and beautiful old building. The staff were super friendly, with a true northern warmth. The room was very comfortable and I slept well. The showers were hot, and water was plentiful. The food was amazing, with large portions, freshly cooked, and presented well. The staff, again, were incredibly attentive and very friendly. A fabulous stay, I challenging conditions, being the hottest day of 2025 so far, about 35°, but no standards slipped at all. Certainly a hotel to revist if I'm in the area again. Thank you all, so much, to all the team that work so hard to make sure the stay was brilliant.

Lovely countryside hotel & spa. We went for the twilight spa package - the spa is amazing! We had a room in the main hotel - tucked away at the very top which was lovely as mean we couldn't hear the music from the function room. But it was quite warm up there, even with a fan & windows. The food in the hotel & spa was excellent. Everyone was really lovely & helpful. Definitely will be returning.

We had an overnight stay plus twilight spa which was amazing! It was so relaxing. Not as busy this time which was great! We stayed in a lovely room in the main hotel! All the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing! It’s a bit pricey but it’s a nice place to go for a treat!
