A disappointing stay for my son and I
My son and I spent one night at this hotel with the goal of having a relaxing day and night. Staff were very welcoming and first impressions were that this was a lovely hotel. Our room wasn’t ready as we arrived early so had a light bite however it took far too long for us to be noticed and then drinks and food to come. Our family room (which was on the ground floor) had one bedroom with bunk beds and then the other with a superking bed. The bunk bed mattresses were embarrassingly old and uncomfortable for my ten year old. We could feel every spring so ended up having to put two towels and double over a duvet to make it more comfortable. There were some sticky stains on the walls which had been missed by the cleaner and the fan in the bathroom had clearly seen better days due to large clumps of dust falling into the bath. The shower head also only delivered targeted power. For the price we had paid I was beyond disappointed.

Love everything about this place!
Absolutely loved everything about this hotel! The grounds were stunning, the hotel itself was beautifully decorated with lots of quirky little touches, the spa area was so relaxing, food and staff both great. I came here for 2 nights to relax and recharge, alone, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to do so! I booked a classic room and it was spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Loved the pantry outside the room where you can help yourself to soft drinks and snacks! I could write so much about this place and am already booking to come back, with my partner this time! Highly recommend having a manicure or pedicure in the beauty salon in the courtyard, the staff in there are amazing. Can’t wait to return!

We had a lovely 1 might stay with our children. The family room was massive and had some toys in the kids room which was a hit! I especially loved the decor of the property and the orangery where we had dinner and breakfast was stunning. The food was excellent too! Will definitely be back.
