Fantastic find - will definitely be back - great balance of personal feel and great service. Small intimate hotel (think 12 bedrooms) - stayed in 'Crickley Room' on the top floor - and was real treat. Massive bed and great views. Great sash windows. Pool was little too cool for a dip for us - but hey - we are... more

I stayed at The Rectory for one night with my husband. We wanted a quiet weekend away together and this hotel hit the spot perfectly. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and the service continued to be excellent for the rest of our stay: friendly and efficient without being overbearing. The hotel is very well furnished and decorated:... more

We stayed in a standard room one night (which being on the first floor had beautifully high... more

Each component part of this hotel is strong yet somehow they are not working together to create the promised luxury package. The house is fantastic - soooo tastefully furnished, and the general ambiance is one of chic, relaxed country house living. The food is great - a fantastic steak and chunky chips, generous portions and cooked just as I asked.... more

A very nice hotel with a nice dinner menu. Our room was very nice and the bathroom was of good size. I thought the dining room funiture could stand an upgrade. The grounds are very nice and deserve taking the time to walk around. Over all a very nice hotel. more

My husband and I stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary, having had to cancel a trip to Rome due to a family bereavement. The hotel was featured in Red magazine and also appears on the Mr & Mrs Smith website. We had one of the "superior" rooms, which had some pretty old furniture in it, hence the "shabby chic"... more

We chose to stay at The Rectory because of its high rating from other TripAdvisor reviewers. However, even allowing for the style of the hotel not being particularly to our liking, an objective assessment of our stay makes it impossible to echo some of the more enthusiastic recent reviews. It wasn't bad - just very mixed. For example, our 'superior'... more
