Our Short Stay

Great location and lovely well kept gardens. Our room was smaller than expected and access to the power sockets was very difficult. The breakfast was excellent.

Unfortunately our room was opposite a family that had 2 rooms and they kept going from 1 room to the other, each time letting the doors slam. This was happening til quite late in the evening & a couple of times during the night, waking me up. So although the place itself was lovely, lack of sleep marred our stay.

Very convenient location, close to M11 (5 min drive) and Park and Ride (10 min walk) but noise wasn't an issue as it was constant in the back ground, almost white noise. Rooms good, clean and with a bit of character. Grounds of the house lovely with avenue of trees to drive up to the building, and walk clearly signposted to local pub (20 mins walk, mainly through fields and woodland). Very pleasant stay.

This is a lovely property, but there were two fairly significant issues. Reaching the property for confirmation on check-in day was an issue. There was no answer until about 5 pm. The other major issue was the poor quality of the mattress in main house room 4. I haven't had a bed that bad un any accommodation since a run down Washington D.C. Holiday Inn in 1977. Pretty unacceptable.

Average

It was clean but there was no room service. I was a bit lost as i was so tired and wanted some guidance. The other thing was the neighbours had cranked their TV upto the max till 2 am. And there was no one from whom i could seek some help to ask them politely to turn volume down. There wasn’t an iron in the room, but it was mentioned that there will be. So I depended on that which was not a good idea. All in all, it wasn’t a bad stay, as room was clean and bed was comfortable and room affordable too. But I think room service should be there round the clock.

Beautiful property. We were very pleased by the friendly and welcoming staff. The rooms are charming, clean, and full of character. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a larger room that was tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Transportation was easy to-and-from town using uber. We will definitely be returning in the future.
