The rooms were small but manageable. Grounds were lovely and we spent 1/2 hour walking around admiring the lovely trees surrounding the old part of the estate. The people on the reception desk were knowledgeable about the estate and recounted an interesting history of the different buildings.
There was a single restaurant, the Steam Bake and Grill, which served a buffet-style breakfast. There was plenty of choice except some of the traditional breakfast food such as bacon and mushrooms were cold. The manager/host of the restaurant was excellent. The young people who served tea and coffee and cleared the tables were all very pleasant and efficient.
The dinner menu of the Steam Bake and Grill Restaurant was disappointing. It had a special daily menu from a buffet and a limited set of dishes available a la carte. It was not really a full-menu restaurant as one would expect in a hotel, but I am guessing that hosting conferences is the primary business of Horsley Place.
