Outstanding, food - divine, service - perfect, not lacking yet not overbearing, ambiance - just right, everything about this place made for an exceptional evening. Highly highly recommend it. Not cheap but like the adage says - "you get what you pay for". Superb.

A Jacobean mansion with delightful walled garden offers an unexpected setting, near Halifax, for an upmarket type meal, or accommodation vastly different from the chain hotels.
Panelled dining rooms sparkle at night with traditional napery and the bar area offers an entrance to the garden for summer evening aperitifs.
A well planned menu should tempt allcomers and the food is presented at a high standard to match the surroundings. The well selected wine list is varied and fair.
Service was pleasant and professional; an interesting misselection, by the chef, of the salt cellar, when a sugar shaker was required, produced an alarming creme brulee based concoction, but it was quickly replaced and all puddings were removed, unprovoked by complaint, from the final bill.
Definitely a hidden gem to be wrestled from the grasp of knowledgeable locals and to gain favour with your paramour, or to impress your elders. Surprisingly, Sunday lunch is not available.
Budget about £40 per head to include house wine.

We went there for our wedding night and it was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely gorgeous, it looked too good to eat because of the presentation. I would recommend this place for a romantic night out.
