Simply outstanding. We stayed in one of the lodges and it’s was beautifully laid out with everything we needed. We had the kids with us so went to the pool and then the Mediterranean restaurant. Awesome service great food. The falconer and the ferret feeding the next day was the icing on the top. Well worth the drive from London.

Clean, comfortable and good value
The hotel was clean and comfortable. Checkin was quick and efficient. Free parking available. We were departing just as breakfast started so we were able to make up a takeaway bag, although I noticed others had them to collect which we had not realised was an option. Overall a good value stay.
