Beautiful country escape

Just incredible. Such a beautiful building with kind, attentive staff in beautiful surroundings. Felt like a real treat! Sitting in the garden one morning was such a sensory treat.

Convenient for visiting Blenheim, clean spacious room and fabulous breakfast
Marjorie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs

Extremely disappointing stay. The room was around 40°C when we arrived—no air con, windows shut all day, and the tiny fan did nothing. When we asked the front desk for help, we were told “heat rises.” To make things worse, loud wedding music played until midnight. There’s no mention of this on the website, and staff weren’t helpful when we raised it. Wouldn’t stay here again—uncomfortable, noisy, and poor service.

Nice hotel, bit dated but the rooms were nice, clean and cosy. I just booked an overnight stay (no breakfast). It was a 1/2 drive though to Thornhill park and ride.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

Great stay!

Great stay - Quick check-in - Good shower - Amazing food although only serve till 8pm - Very comfy bed - They didn't tell me this place was haunted though! - Need better coffee in the rooms - A good quality coffee bag is always a nice surprise - But overall I was happy with my stay!
