"Excellent break, not been since before Covid. We came Wednesday for 2 nights, but extended an extra night, due to being Strictly Come Dancing, and were so glad we did, was an excellent night, was lovely to meet Amy and Ben, the dancing was great, they were very friendly and came and spoke with the guests. Our room and the food was very good, why people put bad reviews I do not know. I hope they will have more Strictly Come Dancing weekends. Sad to be going home."

"This was the best one yet. Not only was the price right for a single room but everything was just superb! Strictly dancers were amazing, staff so attentive too - special mentions for Jordan in the kitchen in the Brasserie and the staff in the same area - Michelle, Callum and Angie looked after us as if we were royals! ( it was the Coronation weekend!) we also had exceptional service from Carla who made sure we were looked after as well as keeping us served with cocktails she was funny and friendly. The house and grounds were fabulous too!"
