Old Hall Country Breaks

We have stayed a number of times but this was our first December stay. All seasons at Old Hall are fabulous however Christmas is extra special with wonderfully decorated trees and cottages, hot spiced drinks on arrival, Christmas themed afternoon tea in the Old Hall and lots of surprises and goodies along the way. It put us completely in the Christmas spirit. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Just returned from a lovely break at Old Hall. From the warm welcome on arrival to our departure today attention to detail was perfect. Our hosts were charming. They had our every need catered for. From our luxury accommodation, inservice hospitality & advice and guidance for excursions as required. Archie our Bernese had as much thoughtful attention as we did. We really appreciated this. Little touches such as Prosecco on arrival, tea and cake in our accommodation, fresh eggs for breakfast and more. They adore animals all of which are very friendly Archie loved Dorothy one of their donkeys 🫏 What more can I say but Thank you for a lovely time spent there.

We have lost count of the number of times we have stayed. Friends ask why we keep going to the same place. Infact we have tried a couple of other places when Old Hall was full and nothing came close. Also, the welcome we receive, the standard of accommodation and cleanliness, the little touches that keep surprising us and the catering offering (we always book the afternoon tea and at least one evening meal), keep us coming back. As soon as we drive through the gates we know we will have the best and most relaxing time.

This was our third visit to Gil and Philip's beautiful house and, once again, it was wonderful. Their warm welcome, complete attention to detail and 'little treats' make this the perfect home from home. Our stay always seems too short and we are already planning our return in 2025. If you need a break from day to day life in a beautiful part of England - this is the place to go.

This was our second stay at Old Hall. We thought our first stay there last year was amazing, but it was surpassed this year. We stayed in the Stable Cottage which we loved for the rustic charm but also with some beautiful modern touches. It was obvious that there had been a lot of thought put into the design and comfort for the guests. Our hosts provide a five-star service, with so many thoughtful touches. They are so knowledgeable on the local area, places to eat and things to do. This year we took advantage of the in-house room dining service and had a fantastic Indian meal along with the afternoon tea, which is just stunning. We also loved seeing all the animals again, and having fresh eggs delivered. Old Hall is a very special place run by special hosts, who dedicate themselves to ensuring their guests are left with such wonderful memories.

This was our first stay at the Old Hall and it will not be our last, our stay was just what the doctor had ordered, relaxation in fine surroundings and great food. Gil’s attention to detail is not just seen in the way the place has been designed but also in his warm personality which made us feel very special. We arrived to welcome drinks and a tour of the grounds. The whole place is charming with beautiful outdoor seating areas to relax and take in the surroundings. Onsite there are a couple of horses, goats and the most colourful hens I’ve ever seen. Our accommodation was faultless. We stayed in the Coach House which was clean, spacious and had a very comfortable bed but it’s the little touches which make you feel looked after. The little cakes left in the kitchen for arrival, or the fresh eggs left on the doorstep in the morning. The Thai food should be tried. It’s the best Thai food my husband and I have eaten. My only disappointment was we hadn’t booked to stay for longer, but we will on our next trip.
