A colleague from overseas and his wife were staying here on a few-days visit to UK. My wife and I joined them for dinner - and wow, we were so glad we did. The welcome from the staff, from the moment we walked in and throughout the evening was nothing short of wonderful. Friendly, professional and fun where appropriate. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent -- I would particularly recommend the Pigeon which I had as a starter - would have had it as main course if it had been an option. I suspect that if I'd asked, they would have accommodated that too - but there was plenty to choose from. All 4 of us enjoyed a great meal in a lovely space with a great view of the floodlit church in the grounds. Not cheap, but worth every penny - cannot recommend it highly enough and my wife and I are already planning to return soon.

The food, the service, and the setting are simply exquisite ?The service is simply second to none. The staff are so wonderful and can't do enough for you. Their bright cheeriness is matched by the wonderful food.

Beautiful views outside from our window seat in the restaurant. Lovely staff, professional and friendly, special thanks to Tracy, May and Pablo for excellent attention to detail. The meal was delicious. We all had the beef Sunday roast main. The presentation was great and everything was cooked to perfection. The beef was juicy, vegetables had just the right amount of crunch, but the cauliflower cheese was my absolute favourite, I need the recipe! Thank you. I’m looking forward to staying in a couple of months.

Firstly, the dining room itself is one of the greatest features in this magnificent period house. Tables are well spaced apart, beautifully dressed and take advantage of the county views. Chefs serve delicious fare at breakfast and dinner. Our favourite dish over the 4 night stay was the chateaubriand, si good we had it twice. A good choice of wines from around the world and the bar is very well stocked with spirits. Friendly, well trained staff make dining an excellent and memorable experience.

Dining experience bad from start to finish. Too much to mention that was absolutely lacking. Absolutely not worth £200 for 3 course a and a bottle of wine. Handpicked has once again dropped the ball. Never again will we visit any Handpicked hotels. Lesson learned for good.

Superb service and exquisite food. Watched the deer crossing the grounds most nights. Wine list was excellent and cocktails were well received. Great staff congratulations to all.

Very good food, beautifully presented, friendly staff in immaculate uniforms, Oak Room Restaurant and Drawing Room full of character. Very expensive drinks, and the hotel is not easy to find in the dark! More signs needed from main road, existing signs need to be larger. Otherwise would have got an "excellent" rating.

Average seems too mean as food was pretty good but very good is a bit too much praise so 3.5 from us. Trout and pate to start, trout and trimmings lacking in much flavour. Pate was lovely but one tiny bit of crisp bread is pretty stingy for £9! Lamb and pie for mains. Pie was lovely but slightly overcooked, chips were good. Lamb nice and tender but doesn't come with any potato accompaniment which we didn't notice and wish staff had suggested something to go with it as left hungry. Draught lager was warm. Food nicely presented and staff are great but for the pretty steep prices we expected a bit more.

Staying at the Hotel, we ate in the Oak room Restaurant, one person had Steak, two of us had Vegan, which was the pie, we really enjoyed the food. Thank you.

Nice, but expensive. Experience slightly marred by noisy wedding next door.
