Excellent venue to relax

This is our second time here and again we loved the whole experience. Service is great, staff are friendly and it’s a lovely setting to relax. We made use of the outdoor pool facilities as the weather was lovely and then chilled out in the indoor pool area. All the food we had was lovely, and our room was beautiful and clean.

Lots of free and easy parking in nice grounds. Check in was well managed and the introduction to the room was very good. There are 2 dining areas, both offering good food choices and lots of outdoor seating in the Spa bar. Room is well equipped with a large bathroom with large bath and over bath shower. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly

Lovely relaxing stay for one day

Wonderful place to stay with excellent staff willing to help all the time. Lovely old fashioned room in keeping with the old house and excellent spa facilities and new gym equipment. The hotel was dog-friendly and although not allowed in the restaurant, they are in the other food area near the spa and breakfast was served in a snug room with only one table so very private. Only issue was the very large bed had two separate matresses joined together, one mattress was lower and in really poor condition so didn't get much sleep. I would've requested a room change if staying another night. The grounds are lovely but maybe need some TLC in some areas. Overall really nice stay and would recommend.

Nice hotel

Nice older hotel. Lacking USB sockets. Old fashioned shower heads. Lovely toiletries. Great service in the brasserie. Food always came out piping hot. Beware of service charge added to your bills. The bar closes early with no warning. The gym is small, but well equipped. They also run classes. All accessible to the public too.

Pamper weekend for myself and daughter

Loved the pool - felt luxurious and private (even though there were other guests using the pool) Great staff and beautiful room in a wonderful setting Breakfast delicious and plentiful The hotel didn't feel too crowded even though they were hosting a wedding Attention needs to be paid to kettle location in the room plus need to have a usb charging point each side of the bed Non slip mat for the bath/shower covered the plug hole if not careful Food was disappointing from the A la Carte Menu and Service was very slow - due to the wedding party?
