Our family and friends had a most wonderful day at this grand 19th Century Country House. We chose the Music Room, with its feature fireplace and beautiful high ceiling, to celebrate my granddaughter’s birthday. We were allowed to come in the morning to prepare and decorate, the staff was most accommodating and helpful. We chose one formal long table with Alice in Wonderland theme decor, seating 23 children. Parents sat at another table where tea and light snacks were available. The party was an absolute success, when the guests walked into the Music Room, their jaws dropped in admiration of the magical grandeur. The refreshments and finger foods were supplied by the hotel’s restaurant, the sandwiches and sweets were very fresh and delicious, stylishly arranged on 3 tier silver stands, vegetables and dips on cute little trays and hot chocolate in small delightful ceramic pots. There was plenty of room for our entertainer to keep all kids active and dancing. Restrooms are on the same level as the Music Room, the first floor, accessible by a staircase only, no lift. The hotel is a Grade II listed impressive building and it has quite an interesting history. As this was a cold day in March, we did not use the carefully tended gardens, but we did briefly see a deer.
