Overall good with some room for improvement

The room was decorated nicely and bed was comfortable but no air con, which was an issue in May but would be uncomfortable at the height of summer. Location is lovely and picturesque. Dinner was nice but felt overpriced for what it was.

Comfortable, nice rooms and good food

The room and food was good. The great wine list with many options by the glass, nice outdoor areas. Unfortunately, I was woken early by the cleaners outside my room running water and banging buckets. Breakfast was okay, only one person was serving and quite a lot of other staff standing around.

Great hotel but let down by noise in room

Was staying for business, hotel and service were excellent and food a high standard. My only issue was the bedroom (The Folly) was directly above the kitchen so very noisy until just after 11pm and then again from 7am. Wouldn't return as I value a good night's sleep which is a shame as otherwise ideal for my needs.

Overnight stay

My wife and I stayed overnight to meet up with family and have a meal together. The room was lovely, clean, and welcoming. Bathroom was modern and clean with good shower. The staff were very friendly and the service was great! We had a meal in the restaurant which was wonderful, the breakfast was equally as good! All in all a great stay and I can see us revisiting.

Loved the restaurant and the amazing staff and the location is wonderful. Only downside was the room that we were allocated while comfortable had an unimpressive aspect and was missing some finer details e.g. could have done with an extra chair and a small coffee table (the room was big enough) and it lacked hanging space. Overall though a lovely stay..

Weekend visiting Newmarket.

We had a lovely one night stay in the Warren room, it was very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom, two small notes, there is no accessible plug socket near the right hand side of the bed & the TV was not working while we were there but that wasn’t really a problem for us as we were out most of the time. The food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive.
