The lamb kekabs were super chewy unfortunately, but other meals were good .
Nice atmosphere there, outside area was very nice and so was the little bar
This was our second stay at The Great House. Last time we had a room in the hotel building this time it was in the "annex". Very comfortable, large room. Staff were all really nice, very good breakfast on both days. Enjoyed the cocktails too. Thanks to all the team.
Stunning 16 century building with gorgeous stone cottages that actually look like the pictures online! Angelina at reception was fantastic and the restaurant was excellent.
Just duck as you walk round and through the doorways as the Elizabethans were much shorter!

Liked: Cleanliness
Interesting building but some communal areas scruffy and need to be decorated. We had room 8, good size, plenty of space for clothes, and spotless. Bathroom looks stylish but not practical - mirror over washbasin positioned for someone taller than 5ft 2in (my height) all I could see was my forehead!! Getting in and out of the bath to use the shower was risky - nothing to hold onto and no bath mat (how does that comply with Health & Safety?) Two of the windows were at the side of the building above the noisy air-conditioning unit, we had to keep the windows open all night due to hot weather. Breakfast both days ok but noticed other guests who ordered cooked food left most of it. Not enough staff for the number of overnight guests but they were pleasant and helpful.
Brilliant. Lovely breakfast. Very accommodating. Great staff. Recommended for a great Ishtar away.

Liked: Staff & service
We have been returning customers for over twenty years. However, this time we were put in a room which we felt was too small and we considered inadequate. There was no room to put our suitcases, there was no wardrobe and the short rail provided had only two hangers. There was no easy chair where one could sit and read, also the room was too hot and the thermostatic valves on the radiators did not work. We were booked and paid for three nights, but left after only two. Sadly we are very unlikely to return.

Good Location, nice property but the water pressure in the bathroom was apalling
Business stopover. Clean with really friendly staff and a brilliant restaurant right next door. No need for plastic small shampoo bottles, otherwise all good.
