A fantastic building with amazing evening meals and Sunday lunches in Samuel's Restaurant. We've stayed here once too and really enjoyed being able to go for a walk around the grounds and deer park.
Lovely place to have afternoon tea and it's reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other places.
When we booked through an offer (for dinner, bed & breakfast), we weren't encouraged to book our dinner reservation at the time we booked the room, which caused a bit of an issue. We were very much encouraged to dine in the then newly opened Terrace restaurant, being told that we woudn't be able to dine till much later in Samuel's. The menu at the time for the Terrace didn't appeal, so we said we'd wait. We walked past Samuel's and the bar at 7-7.30pm (around the time we ideally wanted a table) and it was empty.
The smaller bedrooms are comfortable and nice, but obviously not all of the rooms have a good view (we overlooked the back of the other buildings) - if this is important to you, check this before you book.
