    A wonderful stay and experience! Booked a virgin experience day package of the Harry Potter studio tours (very nearby) and overnight stay at Shendish Manor Hotel with 3 course dinner and breakfast included. Most amazing time at the hotel, it was lovely, clean and modern and the staff were friendly and we had an amazing, big room! We had a 3 course dinner included for us in their Orangery Restaurant and it was perfect. Special thanks to Jo Jo who took care of us and made the night incredibly special for me and my partner, celebrating his birthday. The food was amazing with a lovely view and a peaceful time and a great breakfast the next day!

    Awesome location, set in the country side but close enough to town. They was a wedding party going on in the grounds when I was there and that added to how charming beautiful the place was. I would like stay here again but thins time take more walks through the garden and grounds. Looks historic to me, would be good to know more about the history of the place. Food was great too. Had fish and chips. My colleague had burger and chip and said it was nice.

    My husband and I stayed here our last two nights in England. In all honesty, we picked Shendish Manor because we were able to get tickets to the Harry Potter Studio tour, but our stay was wonderful! The grounds and building were beautiful. We stayed in a newer room, had breakfast both mornings, ordered room service for a late night snack, and had drinks in the lobby. Overall, this was a great stay! If there's ever a next time, I'd love to stay in one of the original rooms.

    Amazing property to experience the English countryside! Really nice gardens that take you back on time in a very classy way. The rooms are old (that’s part of the enchanting experience) but air conditioning is necessary. The breakfast is included and open until 9:30 am, so prepare to get up early.

    Had a lovely few days here when my step daughter got married. The air conditioned rooms are nice but a bit pricey for the standard of decor and facilities etc. However this was but a minor blip on a well organised and delightful ceremony. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and I must mention the breakfast service staff and I think her name was Lynne or Anne in particular. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them.
