Lovely stay

Liked: Beautiful property and the room was very comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Overall would stay again
Disliked: Food wasn't particularly good especially given the price point.

The stay was a unique...

Liked: Breakfast was quite tasty and the servers were great! The location was very lovely.
Disliked: Our room had a problem. The air conditioner in the room was making a very loud and caustic noise at certain times. It was weird. It woke me up out of a deep sleep, which startled me.

Historic Country House Hotel

Liked: Extensive historic country house, beautiful grounds, relaxed informal atmosphere with attentive helpful staff. Superb evening meal in Astor Grill and amazing breakfast in main house. Large bedroom, huge comfortable bed. Great bathroom with massive bath and shower. Expensive but very good value for cost.
Disliked: Nothing

Superb

I would absolutely stay here...

Liked: Every member of staff was exceptional. The grounds were beautiful. Loved the special touches: snacks, handwritten welcome guest note left in room and guest name on door of room. The single best scallop of my life was had in the main dining room. It arrived on a dish of vanilla bean butter. The scallop was perfectly seared and the flavor combination was surprisingly delightful! The bartender made an excellent cocktail.
Disliked: There are major areas of the home that need attention. In the room, cobwebs removed and window sills, flooring, walls deep cleaned. Outdoor area could be cleaned up and the outdoor fence would not lock shut from neighbor’s room/ side. The hot tub covers desperately need replacing. An automatic topper mechanism would be ideal for guests. The spa/ pool area need refurbishing. Tiles missing, jets in hot tub/ plumbing upgraded. The spa and hotel both could do more to offer a gift shop of signature specialities to take home from hotel. Such as treats from the restaurant, apparel, historical books/ relics telling the story of the home. Spa treatments, equipment would benefit to offer more advanced wellness offerings and expertise. It would be nice to have an upgraded and stocked changing area and a separate sauna for men/ women. The ability to order a specialty food/ beverage menu at the spa pool would have been lovely. The ambiance of the restaurant and view is unfortunately distracted by the many tourists who walk right up to the window on the balcony.
