"A perfect place for a quiet walk and no noise, A very old place but worth a visit,"
"A lovely old building set in substantial grounds. Stayed in accommodation next to Abbey for a week. No restaurant on site but town and pubs in easy walking distance. Accommodation away from main buiding had cooking facilities and was comfortable clean but in some areas a little dated, but overall an enjoyable stay."
"We are really enjoying our stay at this resort. It is in very beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of places to visit and learn from. Our little cottage in the Abbey grounds is warm and comfortable and we were warmly welcomed at reception."
"Lovely building and grounds, nice quiet location. Big room with fully stocked kitchen. Free coffee and tea in the mornings and laundry facility. Lots of historical sites in nearby towns. Staff member Liz is very helpful and friendly. There is even a cute grounds cat to keep you company!"
"Wonderful! Not for those who want a luxury spa and 5 star dining. This place is a hidden jewel of history and architectural magnificence. Comfortable, not opulent. Wonderful hosts. (Derrick and Liz) The party on Tuesday nights in the Black Abbots dining room was great fun. The grounds are manicured and the garden is well tended. It is quiet and hidden and perfect for a cultural explorer."
