10/10 Excellent
"Staff were super friendly. There’s a £30 surcharge for a dog but for that he got a super comfy bed and bowl which made his stay a real treat. Didn’t get a chance to use pool but did walk around the very pleasant grounds. When we arrived we were concerned that with two events going on we might not get much sleep however the soundproofing was excellent, didn’t disturb us at all. Room in the Mansion House was clean and well appointed with a lovely super king bed. Breakfast good and plentiful parking although I’m guessing there may have been issues with width of spaces in the past as we saw many cars straddling two spaces :) Didn’t cause us any issues though. We’d love to head back!"
