Stay in a beautiful English country house.
Set amongst the rolling green hills of the English countryside, Roundthorn Country House is a magnificent Georgian mansion surrounded by equally stunning landscaped gardens. Stay here and get a feel for the life of an aristocrat.
positive:
Excellent service from the staff working here.
Everyone working at this hotel is cheerful and courteous, greeting you with a smile and checking that you're happy with everything at the hotel. If you need anything just ask, not matter how big or small.
positive:
Delicious breakfast with plenty of choices.
Wake up to a tasty breakfast made from fresh local produce, with lots of different dishes to choose from. You could have a light morning meal like warm pancakes or go all the way with a full English cooked breakfast.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Staircase leading up to the attic is a pain.
If you're given an attic room be prepared for a strenuous hike up a narrow staircase to get to it. Taking all your luggage up there can be difficult so ask a member of staff to help you if you think you'll struggle.
negative:
Lack of signs makes this hotel hard to find.
Signs pointing off the main road to lead you here are virtually non-existent, so if you're not familiar with the area you could easily get lost. Try to avoid arriving at night if you are driving here yourself, and use a sat nav if you have one.
negative:
You might feel that this place is overpriced.
Once you arrive at Roundthorn Country House you'll surely be in awe of the elegant building, but after staying here you could feel like the room is too expensive for what it is. There really aren't many facilities here, but the views are nice.
