“This boutique hotel, nestled within extensive parkland, strikes me as an ideal wedding venue, especially given the option for Asian catering. While some may find aspects of the manor house a touch dated, its event spaces and grounds exude genuine charm. The location is convenient to local attractions, yet the atmosphere feels delightfully removed.”
