You made our family occasion memorable, warm & inviting. We felt like family, not guests.

Pros: They totally understate the food. Adam is outstanding & his food only matches his playlist!

Cons: Paint the façade at the back of the building, it's the only thing wrong with the exquisite gardens.

I would definitely stay again and would love to try the evening taster menu

Pros: Great location and lovely staff. Loved the breakfast different and good quality food

Cons: The decor is a bit tired but I guess that adds the charm but a bit of touching up in the paint work wouldn’t go a miss

lovely breakfast

Pros: I didn't stay overnight due to an unforseen issue in the room booked but the staff quickly arranged alternative accommodation but we did go back to the old deanery as I wanted to experience the breakfast which was delicious and quite different

Quirky stylish and elegant celebration of the new year😍

Pros: We loved the quirky accommodation whilst still retaining its charm and historic presence. Great location couldnt be much closer to the centre if we had tried. Will certainly be returning.
