Pleasant staff and surroundings. Buildings a little dated, but reasonably well maintained. Very good breakfast selection. Evening meals were a little limited and Steak was a bit overpriced for the quality.

This property was a proper little hideaway! The road in to it was a bit scary but well worth the trip! The property definitely had an air of bygone refinement to it. We had a very peaceful stay. The staff were very friendly and appeared gnuinely pleased to care for us.. It is a wonderful venue for business conferences, weddings etc.

The hotel staff were all helpful and attentive. The room was clean and fresh. The gardens were well kept and enjoyable. The building is old and in parts looking a little tired. Food in the restaurant was good. I would recommend the hotel for its excellent customer service and spotless accommodation.

Need air con

Venue was lovely although very remote. Room was adequate but made uncomfortable by the radiator being on with no facility to turn off. Barely slept even with windows open and fan on.

Liked: Room comfort

Nice-ish stay

Stunning from the outside, however the room needed some tlc (not sure if perhaps our room is used as a pet friendly room which might explain that). Bathroom was really nice, recently refurbished. Out room was situated above some outside seating and other guests were fairly noisy outside until gone 11pm which wasn't great. Food was generally good, had one issue with an item, but no apology and seemed to be an effort to get the item removed from the bill. Fire alarm also went off at 6:50am. Unlikely we would stay again.

In a beautiful setting

Restaurant service, quality and quantity very good, but had issue with the Hotel's 3 course dinner offer. Obviously the Chef was not in agreement with the offer and it took ages to serve, otherwise the food was lovely. Room very comfortable, but if you are disabled in any way, there is no lift.
