We drove round this place not so long ago & I’ve wanted to stay ever since. Gorgeous, old fashioned & very relaxed hotel & grounds. There’s plenty of little quirks to spot in the grounds even if you aren’t in to golf (which is relaxing to watch btw) outdoor tables with games imprinted, a little hen hotel, a little croquet set.. Although we stayed in the main hotel, we had a little look round the Manor House which was enchanting with its sewing machine, old fashioned radio etc. The hotel itself was beautiful - even more so at this time of year with the many Christmas trees & decorations. The room is quite old fashioned - I know my other 1/2 likes more modern, but I found it charming. We were given a can of water each which was nice, but could have been kept colder in a fridge beforehand. Being diamond members, we got to use the ‘Hub’ with some free food and coffee - although it wasn’t as good as a full on lounge with alcohol, it was still a nice touch & enjoyable. Breakfast was lovely, one of the best at a Hilton, as the Full English was freshly cooked and served rather than the normal buffet style.. you could help yourself to other bits as well. Felt very relaxed there. The pool, sauna, steam room & jacuzzi all lovely - I managed to squeeze this in before checking out. The only slight criticism would be to let a guest know if an aqua class is on when you want to swim. I managed to get my swim in, but might be useful to some guests. All in all, a beautiful, relaxed stay with friendly staff. I know my mum & dad would love this one!
