A fascinating place to stay - it is more than just a room. If you want your own private space to chill out, then the Manor is for you. Playing chess, reading a book, just chilling out in front of a wood fire or catching up on the history of the place, the Manor is perfect, as is the service.

The rooms are small but the overall building is amazing. Great old building, wonderful sense of history, Nice fires and feeling to the place. We were the only guests, it was winter but I think it had only just re-opened. The manager was very hospitable, was missing a few ingredients for my partners cocktails but the place had a great feel.

The dining menu was amazing - degustation and beautifully presented and delicious. Only issue was the shower over the bath, not easy for older customers, and there was a lack of shower caps - the latter slightly minor !!

We loved the property so well kept and authentic. The only problem was the driveway when walking up it, as it had a few pot holes and not enough parking close to the property.
