Disliked: Rooms are old and tired. Bed was way too soft.Facilities were very basic.

Very good

Liked: The staff that we met were all friendly and engaging. The young man at the breakfast buffet, Fiona at reception etc. The room was bigger than expected! Very clean, simple décor, spacious, uncluttered. The view of the hall exterior from the gardens is grand, and the interior even more so. We only stayed one night, but the whole setting was perfect! There is also a very quaint pub just a short walk away, reputedly frequented by Dick Turpin the Highwayman (back in the day!)
Disliked: Okay. There was a wedding on the day we stayed, and so there was a bit of a bass thumping noise coming from downstairs. It was a little noisier than we expected...but....there is a disclaimer on the website, pointing out that this can often be the case. It didn't bother us, because we half anticipated it, and it was nice to think a happy couple had just got married in this perfect setting, but just bear that in mind if staying on a Saturday night in Summer. I haven't got any complaints about the odd bit of peeling paint or scuffed wallpaper! The fact that a place this grand is available to stay in at all is a blessing, and overall, the hall is immaculate. I saw a bit of peeling paint on a well used door and had to smile at the thought someone might give a negative review on that basis!
