    The place is magical and truly straight out of a fairytale. The attention to detail and the catering for Halaal requirements sets this place in a league of its own. The 6 course tasting dinners we had on our 2 nights were exquisite. We will definitely be back

    Harford House seems to be trading off its former reputation and the overall standard of service is not as high or attentive as you would expect. Lack of management presence and insufficient staff training are probably responsible for this situation. Rather unfriendly messages on signage and the check out protocol was not guest focused in attitude.

    Very peaceful country location with nice scenic views when out walking. Very well appointed and comfortable rooms with everything you need. Excellent 6 and 4 course dinners. Breakfast was equally varied and tasty. Justin and his team were brilliant in the kitchen and Justin was visible at dinner and breakfast to ensure everyone enjoyed the food.

    Connectivity was a big problem for us as we took a small reprieve from our working week but because we own our own businesses, were still required to be on call and available. Comms were very poor, even the Wi-Fi was terrible.

    Absolutely awesome

    Everything is just perfectly heavenly here

    We are repeat guests at Hartford House, and our experiences are on another level, cuisine is super delicious, service exceptional, the staff go over and above to make us feel so special and every need is catered for. The ambiance, the property, is 10 stars. We love this haven. Justin, the sous chef, is beyond talented and a beautiful human being. Nicky the massage therapist is the best. We left refreshed, recharged, and relaxed

    Nothing not to like! Everything you’d expect from a 5 star establishment. Staff wise;we did however ask for an early check in and they wouldn’t have us check in a minute earlier than 2pm. Also, while we waited for check in , it would have been nice for the staff to have offered us activities to do on the farm. We weren’t sure where to go / what to do. A map of the premise / farm would have been nice.

    Beautiful scenery, newly renovated rooms, excellent food and good for peace and quiet

    Tasting menu great, the a la carte menu offered was dismal and lacked imaginative options for dinner at an establishment of this uniqueness if tasting menu not selected. Tennis court non existent. The glass jar offerings at breakfast to economise were out of place.

    Beautiful gardens, romantic setting, exceptional property. Outdoor swimming pool well maintained. Beautiful well decorated, very comfortable rooms. Reception area, lounge and dining room well laid out, welcoming and beautifully decorated.
