Interesting location by canal and forest with pleasant walk and dining area. Food is a little expensive, but very high quality. Room was OK/good with a few things that could use a refresh. Having no reception area was a little odd. TV was small and jetted tub didn't work. Comfortable and quiet. Country setting but close to main access roads. Motorway is a few miles away in busy traffic.

Will deffo revisit if I’m back in this area!

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rain shower was great and would go as hot as I like it. Wifi is excellent too :-) Comfy bed and pillows. It’s just a pity I was only there for one night.

Awful

An awful experience we didn’t receive an email apparently sent to say it is self check in on a Monday evening. Arrived and it was all in darkness, called the contact number numerous times but it just went to an answerphone. Hotels.com also tried to contact them. Finally messaged us later in the evening but we had already had to find somewhere else. They did say that they would be in contact regarding a resolution but yet to hear!!!

Accommodation needs Attention

The condition of the accommodation is disappointing as the carpet is incredibly dirty could do with replacing for darker colour, our window was broken as was the tap and the iron. No central heating in room so a fan provided but you can’t keep this on at night so was quite cold. Bathroom very poor layout not enough space to get ready privately so only go with partner or close friend. Extractor not working. The location and surroundings nice and restaurant nice and breakfast really good but takes a very long time to come up to 45mins and it was only us. We spent a lot here over the weekend asked for a refund just on poor accommodation but was declined.

Not the best experience

To be described as luxury and to be charged over £100 for a the night was poor. There was no one to meet and greet, no reception etc. Not an issue in its own right but there wasn't enough toilet roll for the stay! No plug in the basin or the bath. The room was cold and despite turning the thermostat up it made no difference. Food facilities were closed. I don't complain but this was overpriced for the experience. The towels were also very small! Tap handle was missing as well.

Tired and Dirty

Public areas grubby, underwhelming reception at check in. Car park not lit and in dark wooded area (no tarmac). Public area carpets filthy, room carpets much the same and room cleaned to minimal standard, door very insecure, window latch falling off, sink tap handle missing, shower cold. Walls paper thin and a lot of banging drum and bass from another room (not hotels fault just a complete moron).Terrible pillows. Restaurant expensive and average, staff didn't really want to be there. Could be a lovely place if some time and money was put into it
