We had such a great time at this hotel, 30th and 31st December. It was a last minute decision booked on Xmas eve, to get away for New Years and it did not disappoint. The room we had (9) was opposite the cleaning cupboard which did not bother us much but might bother others as the cleaning ladies woke our dog up in the morning, however, we didn’t mind because they were absolutely lovely and loved to talk about our fur baby. The room was HUGE. USA size room with a twin bed, which was basically a super king. Next time we go we will ask them to zip link it together to make a super king, but it didn’t make a huge difference to me and my hubby. The staff are wonderful. Literally, so friendly, and so welcoming towards our nervous rescue dog. They told us the best table where to sit (in the alcove) so she could be calm, which worked a treat!! It was a lovely table, and could have sat 6 but they were happy to seat us there because of our fur baby; there were only 2 of us. I thought that was amazing. The girls behind the bar could not do enough for us, they were so friendly. The food was stunning, amazing. Somewhere that serves a roast dinner every day!! Delicious breakfast as well in the morning. Nice quiet lounge for residents to sit in, so if you wanted to get a takeaway or something, you could do one night. It was very wet when we went, but the grounds were great for walking the dog in the morning before venturing out to Ashbourne (20mins) and Blithfield Reservoir (17mins)
