I have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants but this was as good as these. Room was impeccable and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Every possible detail had been considered, from the umbrella hanging outside the room, to the pre dinner nibbles.

What a beautiful place to stay at ! A real gem that we were lucky enough to stumble upon. We will certainly be back one day and recommend to all our friends. Faultless !!!!!!

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. Great restaurant, bar and room and fantastic service. Tasting menu was a real treat and well worth it.

First rate experience from check-in to departure. The location, in the middle of a country estate, means it is quiet and secluded, and the meals are outstanding.

A hidden gem along a trail of lanes. Rooms, food and service of the highest standard. Not the cheapest, but excellent value and well worth it.

We were going for a night away. It was convenient to drive to. The meal was very good and the service was also good. The waiting staff were very attentive at both the evening meal and breakfast. Beautiful countryside.

Faultless. Beautiful accommodation with the most comfortable of beds and an amazing shower. Just loved it. We also dined and we’re treated to real gourmet food. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Beautiful renovated house and farm buildings dating back to the sixteenth century. Our room (2) was on the upper floor above the courtyard with high vaulted rafters and stone interior. Superb lighting options, excellent comfortable bed, two seater sofa, tea and coffee and wardrobe with plenty of hangers in the bathroom. It felt high quality and spacious. The bath was excellent with a rain shower over the bath. We went in winter but the courtyard had plenty of seating in little garden areas which would be lovely on a summer's day. The hotel lounge and dining room was excellent with the latter feeling like a grand small room in an elegant castle. Both dinner (tasting menu) and breakfast were first class. The area is remote (15 minutes from Ludlow) with some challenging driving in back lanes but it is stunning, offering lovely walks in the better weather. We felt well looked after and would not hesitate to return.

Wonderful. Cannot rate eco friendly as no idea what is required. Bedside lights were not good for reading in bed and would have preferred squashy armchairs or sofa to the sit up and beg armchairs. Small criticisms. Food was exceptional and it was peaceful and quiet in gorgeous countryside.

Very enjoyable in the main - lovely staff, great food and a comfortable room, but annoying heating /boiler noises during the night as though the heating or water system was constantly firing up for a couple of minutes every half hour.
