Harden's survey result
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”.
Summary
This “quirky and fun” hotel “really feels like a country house” – a romantic place with an “enchanting” location and “very warm” service; the “unpretentious” cooking is “everything you’d hope for” too.
