The Upper House

The property is absolutely stunning set in beautiful grounds with great history. I grew up in the village so ideal for still visiting my family. Unfortunately there was a wedding and our room was directly above the disco so our second night wasn’t as comfortable as we had hoped with the noise. If there is a wedding, I would have expected the rooms to be allocated differently to put those not attending it away from it. The tv in our room didn’t work and even though the bed was comfortable the rooms do need modernising but were very clean. Breakfast was standard with a range of menu options and the service was friendly but nothing above and beyond. Given the competition, would really encourage the owners to consider revamping and moving customer service up a notch to match the wonderful setting on offer.

It was a pleasant place to stay and convenient for family events on Fri and Sat. The bedrooms were nice with up to date bathrooms but as we have discovered before at other venues rooms allocated via Hotels.com are usually not the best. On the other hand, the common rooms were a bit old fashioned. Great that they had electric car charging which we made use of on Saturday nights.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. We stayed in a family room which was lovely and spacious.

Lovely family-run friendly hotel. Spotlessly clean and always welcoming and helpful staff. I arrived late and tired and immediately felt relaxed. Great choice at breakfast. Enough free parking. Walkable to the village and a lovely National Trust countryside. Two easy to follow walk routes available at reception. Set in a beautiful garden and grounds, on a hill so great views. The room was very comfortable and had everything you would need.
