Outstanding. From the minute I arrived it was clear this was an efficient, clean, and amazing hotel - staff were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be staying again. Shame it wasn’t a longer stay as would have liked to have had a walk round the gardens and hotel to see more.

A warm welcome and pleasant stay

Thank you for the warm welcome at reception and allowing us to park our car at the front of the hotel. Our room was clean and welcoming. Staff were all polite, friendly and helpful. Our only criticism was the lengthy wait for drinks to arrive at the terrace bar. We either ordered in bulk! Or headed into the fox bar for swifter service.

Hotel review

Hotel lovely in great surroundings. Room clean but bathroom needed refreshing.(the door). we had dinner in the bar although a little pricey food was excellent and plenty of it. The only down side was the state of the drive with quite a few pot holes could be a problem if unsteady on your feet and not good on the car tyres.
JULIE, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lively hotel let down by its restaurant.

A wonderful hotel. Let down by its Garden Room restaurant which was poor for a hotel of this standing. The Terrace dining was good.
