Lovely place to stay, the rooms and grounds are fabulous, a little disappointed there wasnt a bar with comfy seating to relax in after check in... and although it was stated in small print that check in doesnt open until 4pm its actually the whole hotel doesnt open until 4pm which is rather inconvenient if you arrive early after a long drive...that being said bed linen pillows and duvet all really luxurious so definately recommend for a good nights sleep. With regards to the £5 parking fee we had to search around for a member of staff to try to pay this and after finding the only member of staff around (the chef Darren) and him making 2 telephone calls to no avail he concluded our parking fee was included in our room rate?...strange set up but overall a lovely nights stay

Nice place waste of resources with the small soap bars that get thrown away after one use. Not great for the environment. Only one bath towel with no face/hand towel and no shower gel. Lucky, I always bring my own!! Reception person was lovely. Hairdryer was broken in my room and she dealt with me immediately and was very welcoming and friendly

The hotel looked good on the web but I had some doubts, partly from other peoples comments. I shouldn't have worried, it is one of the best places we have stayed in during months of travel. Unlike some chain hotels there's no deferred maintenance. It's really tidy and everything works well. It was a great base with park and ride and the M11 both very close. The staff were really great and felt like old friends over our four day stay. Thanks to Sarah and Darren (the breakfast team) who looked after us and gave us some helpful travel tips. Overall it was like a home from home.

The bed was really uncomfortable. It was too soft. My husband could feel the wires inside the bed. Other than that it was fine.
