Check in not great.
Everything else good.
Couple of service issues - dealt with beautifully.
This is an excellent hotel which has been newly refurbished beautifully. Rooms are extremely comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The delicious welcome treats and personalised card in the room are a lovely touch. Hotel is in a great location for long walks in the forest or to visit the local shops/restaurants. We didn’t eat at the hotel on this occasion but plan on doing so in the future as dining area looks very inviting. We will be using this hotel on a regular basis as we have family and friends nearby.
Absolutely loved this hotel.
Beautiful touches that made all the difference. Hand written welcone with some aweet treats. Ear plugs and pillow spray were also a welcome addition (albeit being in the middle of a forest wasnt at all noisey) just one niggle, we followed the coffee pod machine instrucrions 3 times, but we still only got hot water. So much tea and coffee in the room, that we were still able to enjoy beverages without being too disappointed with the machine.
A decent stay in wonderful surroundings. Nice room, well stocked with coffee and tea, ironing board etc and bramley shower products. Body lotion would be a touch.
Room was not cleaned but I believe that they usually are.
Late checkout (1 hour) is £25 extra unless you book directly. A little inflexible but maybe that’s me just expecting something for nothing and more a reflection of me than them. Will definitely return.

I love how they welcomed their guest with a hand written note "welcoming us" which adds a personal touch.
Excellent staff, amazing building very well decorated, extremely clean.
Slight issues with the plumbing (not a complaint just a helpful observation) the shower screen was not sufficient, could not adjust shower mixer for cold and the wash hand basin waste wasn’t able to cope with the flow rate from the tap needs to adjust plug.
Also wasn’t able to adjust TV settings.
These are minor teething issues with new fixtures.
Overall we enjoyed a very comfortable stay and would stay again, We shall recommend to friends.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, I wish you well in business.
