The attention to detail surrounding guest experience stood out to me. The furnishings, food, spa and staff were all top notch. Would highly recommend. The only thing is that the timings for things can be restrictive if you want to get the most out of your stay.

Nice hotel with some nice touches but little changes have been made since our last stay such as no complimentary biscuits in room. Also taken away the complimentary Kings Ginger liqueur. Rooms could be better furnished many don't have wardrobes.

Logistically breakfast doesn’t work. Too many guests and not enough seating. Tables not cleared quick enough so you end up standing with your food waiting for a table.

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic pet friendly hotel, amazing food, great walks outside, great extras, love the pantry’s and the boots for free hire, the games in the lounge and the free night cap, to be super picky the only complain I could have is the outside hot tubs need a good clean and sadly while I was their only one was working which may be the reason for the tub needing cleaning due to over use. But it still gets 5 stars from me as the rest was stellar quality.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property, gorgeous rooms but it’s the extra touches like free wellies to use when it’s muddy, free popcorn, drinks and snacks in the corridors, wine hour, free homemade biscuits etc that make it even more special. The grounds are gorgeous and we loved the serene spa space we had almost to ourselves. Staff also couldn’t be more helpful. Will be back in summer to try the outdoor pool

I everything, from entering until leaving our stay was amazing. We hadn’t even left and we were looking at when we would be coming back. The staff were very helpful. Only concern was the noise coming from the spa which was directly below our room, we were not notified that at 7.30am a loud humming noise would be heard. When we do rebook we will be wanting a different room (room 16) apart from that it was great!

Lovely birthday stay

We enjoyed our stay, we loved that there was a pantry with drinks and snacks in, and the staff were so friendly from reception to breakfast the next morning. The pool area was good, and we'd come back again.
