“Jacobean Manor turned luxury family retreat in stunning gardens with pools. Comfortable, modern rooms are a great welcome after a day of activities. The restaurant caters to all dietary needs and occasions. Children clubs, games rooms, gardens and more gives parents a chance to relax at the spa.”

Hotel review

Any doubts about this hotel are usually expressed by those not travelling with children, and for those who are, it remains hugely popular. A (well-off) family hotel, then, with imaginative ways of amusing and safeguarding the young. Some bedrooms are quite small; some furniture less than perfect. But adults are fed well and relaxed with treatments and country house hotel comforts, while knowing their offspring are well and happy.

Kids’ paintings on the office door and dogs snoozing by the fire add to the ramshackle charm..

"The style of the rambling, multi-gabled mansion is of a lived-in, casual but comfy country retreat."
