Clean room and spa, nice staff bar and reception, beautiful gardens. Was booked last minute as we were unable to travel home and stayed the next day for the spa. Would 100% come again :)

We have stayed a few times before but we felt it was a little rundown in places. Service was also a bit off
Francesca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay. From the moment we checked in the staff were very accommodating. Our room was perfect for what we needed. We enjoyed a couples massage at the spa which was superb. We then relaxed with room service. A wonderful stay and will definitely return.

Lovely quiet and massive grounds covered in nature and very well kept, the accomodations were lovely and everything whilst on the higher end price wise was worth every penny. Would happily return. Some of the staff really set the hotel apart by being more accomodating than most
