We booked a twin room but given a double and they were unable to move us. Generally the hotel was cold, the room had no functioning heater and we had to get maintenance to close the window. Tea facilities were minimal. This morning the hot water quickly ran out leaving us cold showers. Will avoid this organisation in future

Beautiful hotel with a great history - from the drive up to the hotel you get a good feeling. Parking was straight forward just remember to put your registration number into machine at reception. Reception staff were amazing - didn't get his name but what a credit to himself and the company - so friendly - polite - helpful and upbeat - great start to the stay. Through the amazing old house to our room - we even got a complimentary room upgrade (thank you) old sweeping staircases - oak panelling top quality. Our room was wonderful - great big bed - quality stylish furniture - espresso machine was a nice touch - bathroom top notch - great big shower with rain fall shower head - top quality toiletries. Back through the hotel to the spa / leisure facility really nice sauna - pool - gym (just a point it can get busy as it as has none hotel members. Bar area was lovely sat out and enjoyed the sun on the decking then back into the bar to chill.Breakfast was fantastic - self service loads of choice cooked breakfast - cereal - fruit - pastries. Were able to chill in the lounge area with a coffee and just watch the world go by. Walks around the hotel are nice - with some of the most friendly cows I've every met - coming to the fence and wall for a pet. Loved the stay and will certainly be back again when we are up in the area.

A Great Weekend Away

We booked room only as we were going to a 40th birthday party in town with friends who also booked rooms. Everything went well from checking in to the cleanliness of all our rooms and the friendliness of all the staff. We will definitely plan another visit again and maybe next time try the spa facilities.

Awful nights sleep

We upgraded our room but were disappointed by the fact it is over the front door. The main front door bangs open and closed. The sound of taxis rolling up and collecting at 3 am. This isn’t an upgrade regardless of the size of the room being bigger. If they want to charge an extra £50 per night for this room then they should install soft closets to the main front door.

Lovely hotel and a great spacious room. Check in was a bit traumatic as the hotel had taken a payment for one of not our party and not the others and nobody could work out why. Breakfast was a bit disappointing compared to previous experiences. Had to ask for a fried egg which took a long time to come and was over-cooked. No mushrooms. You had to make to make your own tea and coffee, whereas, in the past they brought it to your table.

Nice stay but costs rising

We have been guests here previously and attended functions. We booked for one night in a privilege room The privilege was 2 waters , 2 J2Os and a Nespresso machine with 4 pods - nice touch but expected something more Since our last visit there has been introduced a £10 fee to use the pool / spa areas. We had booked the spa and 2 treatments each for the following day so didn't want to pay more for an hours swim in the evening. Spa and pool were busy and had noisy children playing - we have children and understand the importance of swimming with them but it kind of killed the “relaxing/spa” vibe we had hoped for £6 per pint in the very empty bar area and breakfast at £16.50 made us avoid that too. A nice evening away but costs soon mounting , I think the new National Insurance rules coming in are putting a pinch on places like this meaning they have to introduce these costs to survive. We will attend again , maybe mid week when its quieter but it will have to be an occasion now due to the prices of things Thanks to the staff who were all polite and friendly and to the masseuse in the spa - excellent Scalp massage 👌
