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.

We booked it literally that morning and everything was straightforward, easy to check in and the room was amazingly spacious for what we paid. Only one brief encounter with the receptionist who was very pleasant, beautiful area.

Big country house, if don't want to be in centre

We stayed in the main house. Lovely setting, feels very grand. Only stayed one night but had a great stay. Everything was clean. Bed super comfy. Shower massive. We paid for the breakfast which was good and brought to the table. Service was polite and attentive throughout. App wasn't great, but reception sorted a key card straight away no fuss. M11 is a gentle drone in the background.if open the windows. Can walk to the park and ride in 5 mins to get a bus in. Uber was £14 back from centre. Cheaper and nicer than staying in the centre. Loads of parking. Had a nice walk in the morning out around. Gardens and in to the next village. Would wholly recommend.

Loved my stay there, it is a beautiful property with stunning grounds and reasonabley priced for each night. The only let down was the breakfast, we didnt think it was worth the money and it was cold. Apart from vending machines there isnt any other way to get food and drink.

Lovely manor house with great comforts.

A lovely relatively quiet old manor house, just off the M11. Rooms well insulated for heat, 2 windows didn’t close easily in my room, but other guests seemed to slam them shut. Bed was huge and very comfortable; the bathroom was clean and the domestic staff maintained the room daily. I did drive past a couple of times as i thought the main iron gates were a service entrance, but not. Its a sharp turn into the 'drive' and pull up to the gates which will open automatically. The Receptionist was very helpful too. I didn’t have the breakfasts as too pricey for my budget.
