Harden's survey result
Summary
This grand Belvoir Valley family home-turned-country-house hotel “oozes charm”, and its “reliable restaurant” produces some “beautifully executed meals”. Charismatic founder Imogen Skirving (who died in a car crash in 2016) was one of a kind, and was always going to be an impossible act to follow, so inevitably the enterprise “has lost some edge”, but by most accounts her granddaughter Lila has made a very good fist of taking over: “the food is still delicious and the overall atmosphere still wonderful in the post-Imogen era”.
Summary
Owner Imogen Skirving, who passed away in June 2016, “was most definitely a warm and very talented creator and chatelaine” and is “sadly missed” at the charming old-school country house hotel that she created in her grand family home. Arguably the venue “needs to re-establish itself” somewhat under granddaughter Lila, who has taken the reins here, but fans still find it a “memorable” spot.
Summary
This “sumptuous” country house – “old-fashioned in ambience and setting, and second-to-none for and comfort” – has won renown for its “quirky” style, matched with “wonderful” cooking. It was the family seat and creation of splendidly idiosyncratic owner, Imogen Skirving, who, aged 78, tragically died (post-survey) in a car accident in June 2016. We’ve maintained the ratings in the hope that 22-year-old Lila Skirving, who has taken the reins, can follow successfully in her grandmother’s footsteps.
Summary
Imogen Skirving (whose family have owned the hall since 1868) imbues “a spirit of generous hospitality” into this “significantly charming”, “slightly old-fashioned” and “romantic” country house hotel. “Staff waft-in and waft-out un-noticed” delivering “dependable, unfussy” cooking that’s “first class”.
