The hotel's rooms provide magnificent views of the beautiful gardens, are well-equipped, extremely comfortable, and ideal for wedding guests. The service is exceptionally attentive, friendly, and efficient. The location, set within beautiful grounds south of Lenham village, is stunning, although let down by some poor service. The dining experience, while good quality, suffers from service issues similar to 'Fawlty Towers. ' Overall, a beautiful manor house to stay in with a mix of positives and negatives.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was amazing, with beautiful grounds to wander around and a lovely village square nearby. The rooms were cozy and overlooked the lake, and the breakfast was superb. However, the ceilings in the room were a bit low, and climbing the steep external staircase was a challenge.

The surroundings are amazing, especially leading up to our lovely bedroom. However, it can be a little strange when large wedding parties arrive, and the hope is for service to improve.

The continental breakfast was fabulous, but unfortunately, the drinks were so expensive that we opted to leave without ordering. However, the overall dining experience was outstanding with good choices and great service.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with everything I could possibly need, but being 2 meters tall, they felt a bit low for me. The view overlooking the beautiful lake at the front of the hotel was stunning. However, my room overlooked the kitchens, which was not ideal.

The rooms were spacious with everything we could possibly need, but a bit low for someone being 2 meters in height. The view overlooking the beautiful lake at the front of the Hotel was stunning, though my room overlooked the kitchens.

Service

The staff were lovely, and the hotel itself was amazing. On the upside, room service, housekeeping, laundry services were available. However, at times, they seemed generally stressed, rushed, and disorganized.

Location

7.0

The location has some stunning lounges and public spaces surrounding the hotel. It is set within beautiful grounds a mile or so south of Lenham village, which itself has a lovely village square. However, the location can feel a little strange, especially when a large wedding party pitches up.

Dining

The dining experience was great. The food was cooked to order and of equally good quality with lovely service. However, the warm bread was missing, which was a bit disappointing.
