How blown away I was as the car turned up the driveway! Little did I know that this first impression would only be enhanced and my stay went on.
The House and grounds are almost magical and it was easy to forget the hustle and bustle of the city - the river was an unexpected find, a short walk down the driveway and you feel as though you have captured a piece of land that no one has yet set foot on!
The staff were so welcoming, it made a refreshing change from the service we receive south of Watford Gap! We were there for a surprise 40th Birthday Party and yet we felt almost as surprised as the birthday girl. The food was out of this world and the presentation should be on a postcard - fitting for any award. We loved the music room, grandeur without pretentiousness yet at the same time warm and welcoming.
We are so impressed, even more so after discovering that the hotel had only recently been taken over by new owners we will definitely be returning.
Thank you all for such a memorable weekend.
