Had a lovely afternoon tea in the sunshine outside in the front grounds of the hotel. The setting is loverly with manicured gardens and rolling hills. The hotel accommodated our request for a vegetarian afternoon tea. Sandwiches were good with the scones fresh and warm however the desserts were the star of the show with flavoursome options for even non chocolate lovers. Service was ok. Would recommend if in the area. Note also there is a lovely trail at the back of the grounds which is worth a stroll afterwards.

Absolutely mind blowing, a fantastic place to stay. We were exceptionally lucky to be upgraded to a 'Lords' room (suite). A birthday surprise from my other half was a night away at this delightful place, we arrived several hours early to explore the grounds and make our way to the Old mill ice cream place, the staff could not have been more helpful, we were obviously way too early to check in however they took care of our bags and parked the car.

After a walk and ice cream, we had a spot of lunch; a jug of Pimm's and a sharing lunch, as my other half is gluten intolerant, bread items were replaced without fuss. We savoured every delicious bite. An a la carte dinner was included in our package, the food was hard to fault the desserts which were a work of art. The staff also brought out a birthday treat! The staff's efforts, friendly and professional manner, the beautiful grounds and rooms - first class. I am very much looking forward to breakfast, but not to leaving. Thank you.

Unfortunately there was an event or party on when I went to celebrate my birthday last year. Therefore, the service was very poor, we pretty much got forgotten about. No special touches or efforts were made, and given what we had paid for the room we felt very disappointed. Would not return due to this bad experience.

Just returned home after an overnight stay to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. Absolutely fantastic hotel. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They upgraded our room and gave us some lovely truffles after our evening meal. The ambience and cleanliness of the whole hotel is first class. The food both evening meal and breakfast was gorgeous. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Had a birthday lunch here today. My goodness the food was amazing, ambience perfect, and the staff were all so lovely. We took my 10 month old grandson too and the staff made such a fuss of him. He even got a spare Yorkshire pudding from the kitchen! Think this was the best roast beef ever! Would definitely return. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Stunning manor house in gorgeous village.

After a first stay one month ago I have to re-consider Lords of the Manor as a cherry on top of the cake. Lovely just renewed rooms, spotless, top notch restaurant and plenty of helpful staff who is around looking for your needing satisfaction. I enjoyed the stay and must consider/suggest this enchanted hotel to anyone who is planning to visit the area. Many thanks to all the amazing staff.
