Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay here exceeded expectations. The room was spacious and very well appointed. The quality of food at dinner & breakfast was first class. The hotels location is idyllic with superbly landscaped grounds. It is dog friendly too. Absolutely faultless.

Beautiful setting with the canal and lake surrounding the property. Staff were friendly, parking was easy and check-in was painless. Our room was functional, if a little dated but had a strong musty smell which wasn't very pleasant. We only stayed for one night, but slept well as it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the food overall was decent.

From check-in to checkout, the customer service was nothing short of exceptional. Every team member—from reception to the bar and restaurant staff—was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The breakfast team went above and beyond, making mornings a real treat. Our room was incredible, with a stunning view of canal boats drifting by—an idyllic touch that made the stay even more special. We dined at the à la carte restaurant and were absolutely blown away. The meal was, without exaggeration, one of the best any of us have ever had. The four of us were dumbfounded by the quality, presentation, and attentive service. Simply delicious and unforgettable. Breakfast was equally impressive—fresh, flavorful, and served with genuine care. The beautiful surroundings added even more charm, with scenic walks around the ponds and canals creating a perfect countryside escape. We can’t wait to return. A truly memorable experience from start to finish
