We had a one night midweek break at Matfen Hall, which is only 20 miles from our home, but we got a bargain through the Living Social website. Because we'd paid silly money to stay, I assumed our room would be some modern monstrosity in the basement. You can then imagine our surprise when we got an absolutely stunning, large... More

We spent our second night as husband and wife here. It was perfect. All staff very friendly and helpfull. The room was lovely, and it was just a standard room we were in. The dinner and wine were super. One of the things we found extra special was the cat wondering around the place. He, we assumed it was a... More

Future brides i would recommend paying a little more for an upgraded room to get ready in as there was lots of people coming in... More

Stayed for 2 night spa break. Wonderful! Simply wonderful. Room was stunning (delux double). Food was the best ever. Afternoon tea exceptional. Only slight criticism was salt grotto not working and no cups for water drinking fountain in spa. Spa staff quite disinterested in us but otherwise I would definitely recommend. More

We had tea in the drawing room, which has lovely views of the golf course and lake with swans in the distance. The staff were so pleasant and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We... More
