We had a lovely family weekend at Bailiffscourt, where the beautiful grounds and varied activities kept the kids entertained. The staff were great with our children, and we particularly enjoyed the pools and outdoor games. However, our dining experience fell short as service was inconsistent, which dampened what could have been a perfect getaway for a special occasion.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel, where the beautiful gardens and charming historical setting truly enhance the experience. The staff's warm hospitality made me feel at home, but the dining experience fell short due to service issues and the food not living up to the expectations for the price. The spa facilities were a treat, though I felt the room could use a bit of modernization.
