Guest Reviews

• Lesley (10/5): Excellent hotel for a quiet few days away - Staff were friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable about the hotel plus they were very efficient around the hotel-- NOTHING was too much trouble. Food quality and portion size was excellent - all cooked fresh Our room was spacious clean and welcoming with the bonus touch of a hand written welcoming card from the owners plus freshly made cookies. Nothing
• DrMalc (10/5): Another great experience - Our second stay this time, and as with our first, it did not disappoint!. We got a deal and had a suite this time. Great, nice bathroom ( there was a slight issue with odour, so we reported this at reception ), but not a big deal. Supersize TV and 4 poster bed, altogether vey comfortable. The meal was great again in the evening. Somewhat unusual for us as the chef introduced some unusuall flavour combinations!!. Great staff and berakfast..Will certainly book again, but would look for any deals on offer.
• 710jillg (10/5): Family wedding weekend - We had the most amazing wedding day at Goldsborough Hall. The location is stunning- gardens, surrounding farmland, and their wonderful greenhouse make a perfect setting. We were able to book the whole hotel for 2 nights, which extended the celebration and allowed us to spend more time with family. All our guests loved their rooms and ambience- yes, it is an old building and has a worryingly creaky lift! - but the four poster rooms were very special, the accessible room was perfect for one of our group, and the hotel meeting room made an ideal kids games room when the children were bored. The wedding itself was perfect- venue, ambiance, attention to detail, quality of the food , decor and staff cannot be faulted. The wedding team are excellent, with amazing attention to detail. They worked very well with our wedding planner, and we couldnt have had a better day. Thank you so much!
• Thelma (10/5): Excellent extremely clean staff amazing - The history , decor and character the gardens fabulous Fabulous
• ChockoChick (6/5): Very disappointed with the food. - We have enjoyed the special packages on many occasions over the last 7 years, but this wasn’t one of them. The food was very disappointing. I chose the halibut for the main course and found it to be overcooked, my husband’s choice of pheasant he wasn’t enamoured with. The coconut dessert was minuscule and tasted of nothing at all. On this occasion I was pleased that the food was included in the package because I would not have been happy to pay for the food that we had.
• Louise (8/5): Beautiful historic place. - Beautiful place with so much history. Had come for The Byerley Turk but also enjoyed the Lime Tree Walk. Nicely equipped rooms. Excellent shower. Good coffee machine and nice to have fresh milk and chilled water in the fridge. Loved the photos of the hall from the 1920s. Wall between rooms very thin. I could hear both my neighbours conversations and their sex. Had to turn the tv on to make it bearable. The washbasins were also at an angle and couldn’t leave anything on them without them falling into the sink. Toothbrush etc.
• B1406KNwilliamr (10/5): Wedding Day - My wife and I had an amazing day. The Hall, and surrounding grounds are stunning and it was fantastic to be able to have all our family stay at the hall on the night. The food was delicious and we had lots of complements from the guests. Amanda and the whole wedding team were incredible and so helpful in the lead up to the wedding answering any questions we had, no matter how small. On the day the whole Goldsborough team made everything run so smoothly, we had such a stress free day.
• JOHN (7/5): beautiful setting and wonderful food , room was not as expected - The fine dining menu was exceptional The room had no view and the bed was smaller than expected
• P6840CHgaryd (10/5): Great experience. Would stay again. - Great peaceful atmosphere. Clean room. Very welcoming
• swbygott (6/5): Disappointed could have been much better - Having read the reviews we were disappointed and underwhelmed by our visit. The Hall is beautiful but it didn’t live up to its 5 star rating. The carpet in our room (The Wharton Suite) had lots of stains and could do with a good clean. Disappointing for a 5 star. If you needed a drink you had to find someone to man the bar. We ate in the Orangery Tuesday night food was OK but service not good. We had to ask for the wine list and we were given a small menu with about six wines listed. We asked if there was a more comprehensive list and we were told there was a bigger one but it would probably be the same just bigger writing !!! 5 star service I don’t think so. We did eventually did get the more comprehensive wine list. Such a shame as this has not inspired us to go back and by the way we ate at the Bay Horse in the village Wednesday night and we did get very good food and service.
• C9952XKjohna (10/5): Highly Recommended - I can highly recommend Goldsborough Hall. It is a great location, very pleasant and helpful staff, very tranquil, clean and good value for money
• John (10/5): Highly recommended - Everything
• J3558ZSmarkc (10/5): Battle of the Sommeliers - My wife and I have recently returned from another fantastic trip at Goldsborough Hall. After receiving notification that Goldsborough Hall were trying for the first time a "Battle of the Sommeliers" event, we just had to go. We took my mum (who always enjoys a trip to Goldsborough) and introduced it for the first time to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. We arrived early and took the bus into Knaresborough, returning back to the Hall for check in time. I had organised an upgrade for my wife and I from a Garden Luxury room to the Presidential Suite and my mum from a small single into our Garden Luxury room. Having the Presidential suite was good as it gave us plenty of space to all meet up and have a chat before we wen don for the event, whilst overlooking the fabulous gardens and Lime Walk For the first time the event was run, it was impeccably organised. Canape's and a glass of fizz were served in the Jacobean library before we were all seated in the gorgeous dining room. Four sumptuous courses, skilfully prepared by Dan and his team were paired with both French and Italian wines by in house sommelier Anna and a guest sommelier from Bon Coeur wines. Everything about this evening was wonderful. It was nice to see the family taking part (we often see Claire around the grounds when we stay, but it was nice to see Mark and have a chat to him). It was a resounding success. If the replicated this event in the future, and we were able to attend, we would travel back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for an excellent evening.
• annemM5284PC (10/5): Gorgeous Goldsborough - My partner and I had a wonderful one night stay. We had cream tea on arrival in the relaxing drawing room, then a four course meal in the beautiful dining room. Apart from the overall beautiful appearance of this historical home, it has a wonderful vibe. We felt welcome and the staff were warm, gracious and professional. I don’t want to repeat what all the other good reviews have said but I can totally agree and recommend. Great breakfast to top everything off and a big thank you to everyone!

• Paula (10/5): Beautiful, relaxing, will be coming back . - The ambiance, the history, the cleanliness, just beautiful. I lived everything about this property.
• chenjerai (8/5): -
• kayne (10/5): - Staff were extremely friendly, had an amazing time.
• Patricia (10/5): -
• Don (8/5): Lovely surrounding area with walks on the grounds - Breakfast was very good. Friendly table service. Dinner - food very good Very few people in Orangery dining facility which was disappointing
• bobbleEngland (10/5): Wonderful stay, amazing food. - We spent one night here and it was stunning. The Hall and its grounds are beautiful - a pleasure to amble around on a lovely spring day. Our room was spacious and the shower fabulous with a small patio area outside we could enjoy the last of the sun with a cup of tea. We had dinner in an amazing room which was outshone only by the fantastic 7 course tasting menu. Why it doesn't have a Michelin star is a mystery. The wine pairings were exceptional - unusual, interesting and brilliantly matched with the food. All in all a great stay - we will be back.
• ricks138 (10/5): Exceptional - My wife and I had yet another memorable experience at Goldsborough Hall recently. Room,food and service was first rate. I would recommend Goldsborough to anyone. In terms of value for money for a 5 star hotel and 3 AA rosette restaurant, it was superb. Many thanks to all front and backroom staff. Can’t wait to return.
• Strataman13 (10/5): Lovely hotel with period charm and great value. Best find in Yorkshire for a while. - The Hotel is lovely, retaining many original features and immaculately kept, a real credit to the owners. The gardens are the same, very well maintained and the kitchen garden, with its stunning greenhouse, is just perfect. If you like cozy panelled bars and period sitting rooms with open fires - look no further. The staff were great, went above and beyond on couple of occasions, were well turned out and so helpful. The food was lovely although the wine list was quite limited but enough for us. We booked last minute, a flying visit, but we were so impressed we promised ourselves we'd return and bring friends to look round that garden in better weather!
• Safari48495313067 (10/5): See above. - The best experiance we have had inthe Uk.Mark and Claire have spared no expense on this Hotel.It is truly outstanding in its accomadation,staff ratio,and staff friendliness and performance.Daniel,the chef,is a Michelin star in waiting.Anna ,the Sommelier,was so informative and imaginative.Having spent years on holidays in France and Italy,we have no reason to leave the UK for wonderful culinary , wine and luxury experiances.Thankyou so much for a fantastic stay.Jean and Diarmuid Barnwell. .
• YorkshirelassD (10/5): A wonderful experience. Hopefully the first of many visits. - Fabulous hotel in a small quaint village setting. Stunning comfortable old world decor in communal areas and restaurant, blended with a modern warm bedroom and bathroom with all amenities. The hotel had a relaxing tranquil atmosphere and the staff were attentive and very knowledgeable. The food was excellent and memorable, a fabulous chef. Good value for money, nothing disappointed.
• GeoffandSandra (10/5): Excellent relaxing lunch! - Very pleasant lunch overlooking gorgeous Yorkshire countryside today. I enjoyed a plate of smoked salmon followed by osso buco boeuf bourgignon - excellent! My wife loved her prawn and salmon salad and fish pie. Attentive but not fussy service. A great experience.
• RayJ67 (10/5): One of the best hotels we have been in - Stayed 1 night to celebrate my birthday. One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Very spacious bedroom overlooking the beautiful gardens. Hotel was very opulent in a peaceful setting a short drive from Harrogate. All staff were very professional and friendly. Evening meal was ok but choice was a bit limited. Lacked a bit of atmosphere as there were only 2 other couples staying there, but that was not the fault of the hotel. Would definitely return if we were in that area again
• ian (10/5): one of the best hotels we have stayed in for a long while & the service was second to none - the whole experience was exceptional we really enjoyed the stay, the surroundings & the food was amazing too. Dawn called me before we set off & greeted us when we arrived, really appreciated Dawn showing us around & explaining where everything was.
• Serey (10/5): -
• Robert (9/5): -
• 1beverlyr (6/5): Not what we hoped for - Overall underwhelming, the service was just average at the best the was food nice but nothing to special! Which was disappointing as we were hoping for something with the wow but sadly no wow the hall and the grounds were lovely and well looked after
• Kath (10/5): amazing place for a short break - lovely hotel and grounds excellent location lovely comfortable room
• Biju (10/5): Superb weekend getaway in a historical old building with staff and food to match. Would recommend and will come back aga - The location, the history of the place, the staff and the food. The breakfast was fabulous. The staff were helpful, even coming in early to prepare cooked breakfast for us as we had to leave early to catch the train. We were upgraded to a suite and the room was totally awesome. Nothing in particular.
• Andrew (9/5): -
• Paul (10/5): -
• P4642BJsusanh (10/5): Beautiful venue in pleasant surroundings. - Goldsborough Hall is situated in a small village location, in its own grounds which are beautiful. Gardeners were busy pruning and tidying up during our visit. The hall itself is grand and opulent, with lovely cosy lounges to sit and relax. We were meeting family from different locations so it was nice to find somewhere we could sit and chat and not worry about being hurried away! The service is second to none, staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The food was delicious. We sat in the Orangery which was bright and airy with lovely décor and chandeliers. The gardens are beautiful to walk around after you have eaten. Thanks to all concerned, our visit was very pleasant and we will return.
• Merrilyn (8/5): Very enjoyable staff could not of been better - Breakfast very good dinner expensive very well served good food Drinks had charges on them for service but I suppose it was what I should of expected in a hotel
• Olivia (10/5): - Beautiful location , building & grounds.
• snapup7 (10/5): A Great Awaynight! - From the moment we checked in everything was a delight. The building is amazing, with wood panelled walls, chandeliers and oil paintings! The food and service were great too.
• thepoppits (8/5): Beautiful setting and good food but points that could be improved upon - We ate in the Orangery for a 70th birthday lunch. We had to search to find a member of staff when we arrived, to be shown to our table. The food was delicious in a beautiful setting. We ordered three courses .The beef bouguignon was delicious, as was the king prawn,salmon and avocado salad. It was disappointing that there were no little extras provided, even coffee wasn't served with a chocolate or biscuit, which you would expect at this price point. Even though we had told the Hall it was a 70th birthday celebration no little touches were provided. Very disappointing experience to other restaurants. We usually leave a healthy tip but a service charge was automatically added which I don't agree with.
• marilync251 (8/5): One night treat! - The location is easy to find. In the heart of Goldsborough village but once you're in the hotel premises its lovely. Staff very welcoming and polite. Comfortable rooms and super shower. One of the best hotel showers so far. It was clean and had all the toiletries required. Coffee, cookies and a coffee machine were also provided in the room. When it comes to food I found it quite pricey for what you get. But I would still go back as it was a nice treat for me and my husband.
• markjJ5312AX (10/5): Oglesby Suite Stay - Booked a standard room stay but upgraded to Emperor Suite via a discounted bid. The room and Hall are magnificent and are so grand. The four poster bed is so massive and comfy, and pillows were so soft that I had to use a cushion to try and firm up. The waterfall shower and jacuzzi bath were very good. We had Sunday lunch, which was really tasty, and service was really good. Walked around gardens where the scenery is breathtaking. Parking was on gravel drive at front of building and made use of the local pub on first night. Timothy Taylor ale was recommended. Knaresborough and Harrigate also short car journey away. Would stay again. Reception staff really friendly, especially the lady who I think was called Donna.
• Wander12486047514 (10/5): Beautiful garden walk. - Called into the Goldsborough Hotel on our way to Knaresborough for the weekend, we had a delicious coffee whilst relaxing in the beautiful sitting room of this 16th Century stately home, the former residence of HRH Princess Mary, we were drawn to the Hotel after seeing the beautiful snow drops on the local TV news, it was a lovely morning spent in beautiful surroundings even though it was raining.
• stephenwL9654AF (10/5): The perfect wedding venue - This place is fantastic! From the moment we pulled up outside Goldsborough Hall we knew that we had found a truly magical venue for our wedding reception. The venue itself is a breath-taking house, steeped in history with magnificent grounds, set against a backdrop of beautiful countryside. From our champagne reception on the patio amidst beautiful flowerbeds, to the stunning Orangery where we ate and the panelled library we used during the evening, Goldsborough Hall was the perfect setting. Our assigned wedding coordinator, Amanda, was brilliant. She patiently answered our endless questions, came up with imaginative solutions and helped us to create a day that was truly personal to us. Nothing was too much trouble. She was amazing. Dan, the head chef, took time and meticulous care over our wedding breakfast and was always available to discuss even the smallest details that mattered to us. The wedding breakfast was delicious and seamless with many guests commenting on the high quality of the food and wines. All the staff were friendly, courteous and helped make our day very special. Melanie even managed to get a muddy footprint off my wedding dress train as soon as we arrived with a reassuring smile! Having considered alternative venues before finding Goldsborough, we were very impressed by the package that Goldsborough offered us, including the use of all sixteen beautiful bedrooms for some of our guests. The entire place was ours. Thank you to everyone at Goldsborough Hall who contributed to what was for us the perfect day. We would absolutely recommend this venue! Naomi and Stephen
• S4194CXrichardo (10/5): Excellent experience - We had an excellent time, the staff were all very professional and helpful, the rooms were beautiful and well kept, we would highly recommend
• W6044XJandreas (10/5): Stunning evening meal, beautiful hotel - Beautiful country house hotel. Very comfortable room. We stayed in the Dower House, a lovely sized room with French doors opening onto the gardens with a patio table and chairs. A nice breakfast, the icing on the cake was the outstanding evening meal. The hotel has just retained its 3 rosettes. We went on a travelzoo package so got a great deal for bed breakfast and set evening menu (3 choices. 3 courses) Canapés before dinner and a bottle of prosecco There are several communal areas to have drinks or lunch, all very comfortable and as it was January a beatiful roaring fire We were celebrating my birthday so after dinner sweets a lovely treat
• AdeCBeevers (10/5): North Yorkshire Luxury - We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary with a night at Goldsborough Hall. We have stayed on previous occasions and love the tasting menu offered in the main dining room. This time my wife chose to have the pescatarian menu (I gave prior notice), the food was amazing, the service was to the usual high standard and the visit was completed with a traditional Yorkshire breakfast in the orangery. Our room on this occasion was the Byerley Suite a beautiful period room with views across the park, a sumptuous four poster bed and a first class ensuite c/w jacuzzi bath and a huge rain shower. We look forward to returning later on in the year.
• janesB9596GQ (10/5): Gold at Goldsborough! - If it wasn’t for Allison Aspin my stay at Goldsborough would not be the same. She was so helpful and cheerful and such a lovely hostess. She recommended dinner which was one of the best I’ve had in Britain and carried my heavy suitcases up and down the stairs. What a wonderful place and such lovely people.
• Jamie (1/5): Gratuitously Overpriced & Tired Room - Location was good and the building looks stunning from the exterior. Comfortable bed. Appalling value, cleanliness and staff (check in) experience. Check out staff were friendlier and took our complaints/concerns down but no-one followed up on them. £480 for a night to not even include breakfast? Poor standards of cleanliness and our room was tired.

• GillieEJB (10/5): A gorgeous stay! - Goldsborough is a gorgeous place to spend a few days. The staff are genuinely friendly, helpful, efficient and lovely: feeling really welcomed and well cared for makes a big difference. Amazing 16th house with many original features; beautiful clean warm room with a view over the garden; roaring warming log fires; good and imaginative food though I missed vegetables and found the kitchen is not good at cheese (unimaginative selection; too cold); breakfast good though the buffet was disappointingly minimal. Big refillable bottles of toiletries would have been more ecological than the tiddly plastic-wasting ones. Knaresborough is a fascinating little town to visit during the day.
• Simon (5/5): - Staff were pleasant, otherwise nothing to comment on. Room: Meh. Orangery: Cold and impersonal. Sandwich menu: Cheap sliced cheese. Car park signage: Absurd. Why does the hotel think it's acceptable to tell people to ignore a sign ('you will have been told about it in your welcome email). Just sort the signage out.
• jtwl2014 (10/5): Wedding of dreams - We got married at Goldsborough Hall on NYE. We cannot fault the experience - the entire team were reassuring and professional and the day progressed like a well oiled machine! Our photos are incredible, with the warmth of the Goldsborough Christmas decor adding extra sparkle. Everyone told me my wedding day would be one of the best days of my life and I doubted how it could be true, but it really was! Waking up to the most beautiful sunrise in Lascelles is a memory I won't ever forget. We were too nervous to eat much, but the taster session and our guests told us how amazing the food was! Thank you team! Special thanks to Amanda, Alison, Mel and Mike. We cannot wait to return.
• JawDurham (2/5): Gratuitously overpriced and disappointing experience - We booked on the strength of the other reviews and it is evident that we are in the minority with our opinion - perhaps we were unlucky, or perhaps it was just the room we had (Oglesby Suite). Not one to leave negative reviews - hospitality as a whole is struggling and I would if I had any complaints I would much rather resolve them directly with a venue than leave a public negative review, however a month after our stay, no-one has followed up on the complaints we made and therefore Pros: Location was convenient and the building is stunning from the exterior. Very comfortable bed. Cons: We booked last minute (same day) and arrived late at night (11pm) after a long day travelling. We booked a suite priced at £480 for the night however were very disappointed with the quality of what was offered. The suite was freezing cold on our arrival (there was the ability to heat the room via AC - perhaps this could have been switched on before we arrived?) - it took an hour to warm up. The room was tired and is in need of a refurb. (Lightly stained carpet, water marks on tables, cracked bathroom tiles etc) - far below what we expected for the price tag. This might have been OK but for the fact the room was not clean. The bedside lamps, amongst other areas were visibly dusty. The amenities were also very poor (again considering the price tag). Very smal single use bottles of shower gel/shampoo - to add insult one of them was half full having clearly not been replaced from a previous guest. The bathrobes again, were not of the quality expected. Small touches that you'd expect better from a 5 star hotel charging £480 a night. To add insult to injury, £480 did not include breakfast which we were invited to pay extra for. Checkout staff were very friendly and took down details of our complaint, but a month later we have not had any response. Perhaps the hotel management feel that our concerns are unjust - however we have had the fortune of staying at many 5 star hotels in the UK and around the world and we firmly feel that the hotel gratuitously overcharged for a substandard experience - to not include breakfast is frankly shocking! Regardless, the courtesy of a response would have been welcome. PS, The hotel didn't take AMEX - FYI for anyone travelling.
• Lynn Smith (9/5): A fabulous stay, we wished it could of been longer - Our whole time being there was amazing. Our room, our evening meal in a very beautiful setting. Breakfast was lovely and having it in the orangey room. The staff were wonderful and looked after us well nothing
• June Pollard (9/5): -
• Jan (9/5): Lovely venue for a low key birthday - Main lounge and dining room lovely atmosphere Orangery good for breakfast but not a great venue in evening
• Justin (10/5): Attentive staff, good location, really nice rooms, views, and food - Lovely historic building
• dave (10/5): Great location, fabulous hotel with wonderful staff. - Staff were all excellent. Facilities were fabulous. We felt very well looked after. 👌 Going home!
• Salmdl (10/5): Another fabulous stay! - We had a fabulous stay for my husband’s birthday. The hall is a beautiful venue in lovely grounds and looked very festive with all the gorgeous Christmas decorations. The staff were so friendly and we were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. We had a spacious, comfortable room but it was the little touches that made it so special, a handwritten birthday card and welcome back note, fresh milk in the fridge, a coffee pod machine and even a teapot to make our morning ‘cuppa’ as well as hand made chocolate chip cookies which were very much enjoyed. Our pre dinner drinks were accompanied by canapés in the grand drawing room before we were shown to our table in the rather regal dining room. The chef and his team exceeded all expectations, the six course tasting menu was delicious and impeccably presented. The staff were knowledgeable about the dishes and every course was described and explained. Our evening was rounded off with coffee and chocolates in the library by the roaring fire, such a treat. Breakfast was excellent too, all in all a super stay, hope to see you all again in 2026.
• jennifercL8397NG (10/5): Very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful and very clean accomodation - Very, very clean. Absolutely spotless. My grandmother loved the flowers and chocolate covered strawberries especially as optional extras for the room. The flowers were absolutely stunning, they are substantial in size. We attended the murder mystery dinner. The Christmas decorations made us feel very Chrisymassy and everyone looked stunning for the 1920's theme. The entertainment was fun and the actors were very friendly and obviously enjoyed the night as much as we did. The included breakfast was lovely and a nice end to the stay. We enjoyed watching the squirrels play in the grounds from the windows.

• kirstybO3095ED (10/5): The perfect wedding! - We cannot thank the entire team at Goldsborough Hall enough for making our wedding day so special, truly a day we will never forget ❤️ From our very first meeting, we knew Goldsborough was the perfect venue. Alison immediately put us at ease, always on hand to answer questions and guiding us through the process with such professionalism and warmth. The whole team’s experience really shone through in every detail, from the planning support, to setting up for the big day, the delicious food and ensuring every guest was looked after from morning to evening. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like our menu tasting evening and making sure the bride and groom had canapés and a drink after the ceremony while photos were being taken! We loved having the option of a relaxed meal with close family and friends the night before, and the special arrangements for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding made everything feel even more memorable. Our guests have all commented on what a wonderful day it was, from being such a beautiful place, the atmosphere, the food, and the great service. Goldsborough Hall is a stunning place, we feel privileged to be a part of it's amazing history  and it will always hold a special place in our hearts, we cannot wait to return. Thank you again for everything ❤️
• CatherineT81 (10/5): The Perfect Christmas Treat! - The Hall hugs you as you walk in. You feel so welcome! First impressions are of a gracious place which is truly loved & all of the staff who work there seem to love it & their passion for the place comes over. Service throughout our stay was superb! We stayed in the Hanson Suite, which was beautiful! The drapes, the lighting, the fluffy towels & robes, toiletries… every little detail was perfect. Dinner in the Orangery was our only negative. It just felt a bit ‘ordinary’ in comparison to the splendour of everything else, but coffee afterwards in front of the fire in the Library was so relaxing. Throughout, the Christmas decorations were just lovely. It feels like a ‘home’ that is lived in & loved. Breakfast next morning was fabulous and did not disappoint! The Garden & House Tour & Cream Tea afterwards were very enjoyable. It was a beautiful stay in a wonderful place and a true Christmas Treat!

• G2012WHjanen (10/5): Absolutely wonderful stay - We have just spent a wonderful Sunday at Goldsborough Hall. We were gifted a Sunday lunch voucher by our daughters and we decided to book a room for the night and were so glad we did! We had one of the smaller rooms as we were only staying one night but it was beautiful, immaculately clean and a lovely comfortable bed. We arrived for lunch and were warmly greeted by the lovely Alison. We were then shown to our table by Victoria ( I think that’s her name as we asked at reception in the morning). We had a lovely seat next to the window and our meal was faultless, absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Victoria was amazing Very friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. We were inadvertently “entertained” by what appeared to be a regular customer at the adjacent table 🤭We then had a lovely walk around the gardens and met the owner Clare and her cocker spaniel who chatted to us about the history of the house and gardens. Clare was lovely and it was a pleasure to talk to her and play with the dog! It was a chilly but beautiful day so after a walk we decided to sit in the beautiful library with a roaring fire and read a book and share a bottle of wine before our evening meal. We wisely chose the lighter menu of sandwiches as we were still full from our amazing lunch. We met Parker the cat who was a delight. It was nice to make a fuss of him as I was already missing our own cats. We were looked after all day by Victoria and we both felt she was such a great host and a real asset to the hotel and would like pass on our sincere thanks for looking after us so well. Breakfast the following morning was delicious and the service impeccable. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back soon. Thank you everyone for a truly relaxing and restful break.

• Safari24714492870 (10/5): Out of this World -Special place - Amazing hall we stayed for our 25th Wedding Anniversary with a meal included. From check in with Alison to the superb restaurant service we were made to feel welcome, special and comfortable. Hall - Is unbelievable and a credit to the owners the styling is impeccable you feel as if you are part of a special Downtown Abbey set amazing. Room- We booked a luxury Garden view it was spotless, large with 3 windows, controllable heating, electronic shower, superb white crisp bedding Meal in the dining room was exceptional we have never tasted 3 courses as good anywhere and we have traveled the world eating in some brilliant establishments. This was truly stunning, the lady that served the tables was superb apologies for not asking her name, she explained each course in detail. It was a food experience like no other . The meal was a night out in itself from the canapes served in the library room with a real roaring fire by a very pleasant well informed young lady, to the vast wine list everything was carried out with a long forgotten style, panache and elegance. Go you will not be disappointed, we will make this a yearly wedding anniversary tradition now

• Jonathan (9/5): A well restored house set in beautiful grounds. - Beautiful grounds, house well restored Too many fake flowers, so many leather chesterfields so it felt a bit uniform. Also the conservatory was bland for dinner.
• M408RQandrewb (8/5): Lovely hotel in a perfect country setting - We have stayed here before and have once again enjoyed a lovely relaxing break. The Orangery is a beautiful light and airy space and we have benefited from a room upgrade each time that we have visited. The drawing room and library are most inviting and relaxing spaces. All staff are pleasant and helpful. The accommodation and breakfast were good value for money. We hope to return again soon.
