Food was excellent
Nice place, food excellent, location nice. It has a bit of everything, you can get your hair done by London hairdressers, they have a tree top accommodation (although expensive). There is a gluten free option but I would advise cyliacs to use caution, staff are very helpful and good seating area, and lovely to walk around. Wedding options are good with a lovely location

perfect for a wedding
My daughter and I had a wonderful high tea with beautiful local produce. The scones were amazing so light & crumbly, I would like the chefs recipe! The grounds our so beautiful, it was so relaxing sat on the terrace looking at all the plants & trees, it would be perfect for a wedding. The bar and lounge are also beautiful with tasteful furniture, nicely spaced for socially distancing. We are looking forward to returning for our family get together, and dog are welcome !
