All the reviews are from the previous time the Hall was open, they are not current and not relevant. We stayed three nights in April 24 and this is a current and true account. You would struggle to find a more beautiful location and the furnishings in our suite were expensive, however we move on. We were the only guests. On arrival we were met by the young Lady who I assume is the manager, very pleasant and has been front of house for a month, she had no knowledge whatsoever of the area which was disappointing.Her attire for what strives to be a very upmarket B&B is not what one would expect. When we arrived the first thing we heard were barking dogs, when greeted the first question was 'do you like dogs as we have two German shepherds' we do but not barking ones that are roaming loose, not a great start, Reading previous reviews it would appear that breakfast was wonderful, that is not the case now, Orange juice is not fresh, there is no meat whatsoever on the menu except Chicken sausages, no bacon, no ham, nothing, the owner is of a faith that does not eat pork so all guests musts follow suit! The fact that there are beef sausages, game sausages and venison sausages is overlooked, there are no kippers, smoked mackerel etc. So in essence the menu is very limited, we opted for the poached eggs and they arrived hard, all very disappointing. It's not surprising there are so many negative breakfast comments, additionally they do not start serving until 8.30 and although we were the only guests it took nearly an hour to get two poached eggs each ! our suite was beautifully furnished, however all pillows were soft, no choice, the duvet one could have used to scale Everest, again no choice, heating controls were totally unfathomable, the fire is simple a big black hole, even some artificial flowers would have brightened up the dark space. Finally when arriving back from a meal out you will need to avail yourself of a torch to locate the keyhole, even though this was pointed out and we left the hall light on when we went out on the 2nd night one of the staff saw fit to turn it off so the scrabble to get in when we arrived home repeated itself. It really should be the most magical place to stay but sadly it is not what the owners envisaged the place to be, inexperienced staff, lack of attention to detail and a very sad breakfast menu will not have guests returning, Could be so much better.
