We had a lovely stay celebrating a special occasion. The setting of the hotel is truly stunning, providing picturesque views and a serene atmosphere.

Stirk House is a beautiful venue set in stunning grounds, perfect for events like weddings or a relaxing weekend retreat. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though some may find the beds a bit too soft. The dining is a highlight, with excellent breakfast options and a delightful afternoon tea. However, during peak events like weddings, it can get a bit noisy, and waiting for breakfast service was a slight downside.

During my stay at Stirk House, I truly appreciated the beautiful surroundings and the excellent service provided during the wedding event. The comfort of the bed in my room stood out, but I found the overall room condition a bit disappointing, especially with maintenance issues. The dining experience was varied, with some high points in breakfast options, but not everything met my expectations. However, the venue's charm and wedding arrangements left a lasting impression on me.
