The staff was very helpful. Breakfast buffet was wonderful. The building and grounds were beautiful and a reminder of the elegant past. We arrived at night and woke up to a beautiful view of the lake. Highly recommend.

Disappointing for a 4* hotel

We were not informed that there would be building works happening at the hotel prior to booking. The reception staff confirmed that the management team had decided not to mention this on the website. The building works completely covered the garden area which is highlighted as a big USP of the hotel, meaning we paid the full amount for our booking, but werent able to enjoy the property and the views. Also the lifts were not working which meant we had to climb up and down 2 flights of stairs. The hotel were kind enough to eventually move us to their sister hotel when we complained about this.

It was a very pleasant place to stay on the way back from Scotland to the Midlands. The 'cosy' room was bigger than expected and of course very clean, the staff were friendly and efficient, the breakfast was excellent. Thank you.

Overall pleasant stay in a cosy garden room.Bit of noise from surrounding rooms could hear next door quite clearly taps running doors opening and closing also dog barking on other side.Really disappointed on top of room rate had to pay £15 to park car surely the fact weve paid to stay in the hotel over other hotels in the area that should be a reward to park car for free just think for the price for 1 night £175 parking would be included lets look at the obvious 7 nights times 175 plus parking 7x190 is £1300 that equates to 7 nights in Cancan Mexico all inclusive is it any wonder people go abroad. Really think hotels in this country missed a a massive trick especially after covid with the Staycations instead of upping prices should have been reasonable and encouraged people to stay in this county keep money in our economy wish some hotel or major chain would challenge some of the major tour operators and say STAY HERE DONT GO ABROAD WE WONT RIP YOU OFF maybe instead of running at 60 to 70 percent occupancy in peak seasons and 30 to 45 in off peak you could encourage people to spend their money with reasonable prices and promotions and have a more regular occupancy.As a hotel obviously your bulk of trade relys on tourism but look just down the road you have a thriving shipyard with an abundance of people with ready cash perhaps looking for weekend breaks at reasonable prices just one example. I know i will get the usual generic response but its just my observation i believe

The lift was out of order. We wanted a lake view and to use the gardens, but there was scaffolding impeding our view and all laid across the gardens. If we knew about this, we would not have stayed at this property. We had no choice but to stay because we had nowhere else to go. We would like a refund for this terrible experience because it was not as described or advertised and we weren’t given an opportunity to change our minds.
Scaffold on the gardens
Scaffold spoiling what should have been a beautiful view of the lake
Lift out of service. We had to carry our bags to the second floor.
