Disappointing Experience for a Very Special Occasion We stayed at this hotel over the weekend as bridesmaids for our best friend Kathy, who had booked to stay here with her partner Marcus for their wedding weekend. Sadly, from start to finish, the service and management were a huge letdown. Communication from the admin and management team was consistently poor and caused unnecessary stress in the lead-up to what should have been the happiest weekend for Kathy and Marcus. Kathy had booked a suite for both Friday and Saturday night, and the restaurant which was intended to host her wedding party for a celebratory meal on the Saturday. Despite this being arranged well in advance, the lack of communication and follow-through from the management left her and Marcus in an incredibly difficult situation. While the head chef tried to salvage the arrangements in the final month, he then informed Kathy just days before the wedding (on the Wednesday) that he had parted ways with the venue on bad terms. This left Kathy and Marcus completely stranded, having to make last-minute catering arrangements—something no couple should be dealing with days before their wedding. In terms of accommodation, both suites (ours and Kathy’s) were disappointing. The rooms were dusty and had cobwebs in the windows. Despite the heatwave, the towel rail heaters had been left on, making the rooms unbearably hot. In Kathy’s suite—the room where she was meant to get ready for her wedding and spend her first

There were so many plus points about this stay . 1 the accommodation is gorgeous masses of space and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches . 2 the staff are wonderful there super friendly and helpful . 3 The food we had lunch and breakfast was really tasty . There were a few issues which stopped us marking it perfect . 1 it was a warm day so we didn’t try the hot tub till the evening . There was no temp on it but it wasn’t very hot. It had hair in it seemed dirty . We also got bombarded with flies the minute we got in so only in it ten mins . We paid extra £40 for that so I would say not worth it . 2 We paid for breakfast included in the stay . We went at 9 and they had already run out of mushrooms . We also asked for toast but that didn’t materialise . 3 when checking out we were told we had a bill for £82 which we queried as breakfast was included and had paid our lunch bill separately and didn’t eat there in the evening due to it being quite pricy . They said that would sort it but felt very awkward as had paid upfront for the room . All in all it’s a beautiful place quite remote and a good 20 mins to any kind of beach or eating facilities but gorgeous accommodation .

Firstly the location and staff were 1st class, the main house is old so i do take this into account, but the room was boiling hot with only an old fan to cool you down, internet was non functional with no phone signal, finally breakfast did not start until 8am - not good for a business guest, I think with some minor tweaks this could be a top location and i would stay again.
