The room was excellent and so were the rest of the facilities. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Although renovation work was being carried out during the day it did not interfere with the enjoyment of our stay.

Lovely hotel, large rooms.

Lovely welcome, great pool area and restaurant was nice. The rooms are huge and they have everything you need. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment which is desperately needed but the staff were brilliant and we felt very happy there. Location is good and the grounds are beautiful.

A pleasant two-night break. Hotel is good and reasonably priced though you'll struggle for things to do nearby if you don't have a car. Nice room, comfy bed and the restaurant is good too

Very happy, hotel staff is extremely pleasant, they were professionals , I would recommend this hotel to everyone. 10 out of 10
Gabriel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic family break. The swimming pool was excellent for my five year old and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean. There were a couple of minor jobs that needed fixing in the bathroom such as a wonky toilet seat and a broken plug. The grounds were lovely and the outdoor tennis looked fantastic. The outdoor eating space was glorious in the sun. There were clearly improvements being made to the property at the time of our stay but it did not affect the brilliant time we had there.
Lynn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a lovely stay, sadly only for one night. The spa facilities were nice but quite a few children made it a less relaxing experience than expected. Still waiting on a reply to a lost property query
Ruth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel pool etc but room was dated bed not comfortable made noises when move about and handle fell off shower.
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is under renovations and for good reason. However, it should be completely closed to complete it. Nothing seems to be completely functioning. Staff was unresponsive and seemingly unwilling to help with requests. We called the front desk and asked for a hair dryer and a fan and they told us to look in the wardrobe. The room is 300sqft! We checked the wardrobe. They never called back and when I went down to ask about a hair dryer or a power converter that the room guide said would be available at the front, I was told that the keys don’t work due to Remodelling and the staff doesn’t come in until 10am. Apparently guests needs can only be scheduled between 10am and 5pm M-F.
Jon, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dissapointing to say the least.

Well, arrived at reception around 2.30pm, no one to be seen. Had to use the phone to call for someone to come and check us in. Tried at that point to charge us for the dog, when I had received communications via Hotel.com that the room (which was a more expensive one) was not one of their dog friendly rooms, so they have moved us to a different dog room and we wouldn’t be charged for the dog. Room, in fact the whole hotel was very tried, in need of a refresh, updating and some heating on. Bar are extremely cold where we had to sit for dinner and breakfast with the dog. Service slow, other tables who arrived later than us served before etc even after I requested if someone could take our order. Pool, jacuzzi out of order for the weekend!!!! One reason why I booked the hotel. Food average, to say the least. Room had not been hovered, and bathroom floor had dust, hair etc on it. Check out, once again tried to charge me for the dog!!! Person in front of use was complaining that their room had not been cleaned as they found food etc on the floor!!! Sorry lovely setting but let down by the ‘old, dated, cold’ hotel, food and service.

Great hotel in a beautiful location, great hotel for dog lovers and for those with children.
Lee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are a good size but remember this is a traditional hotel so there is lots of old wood and floral curtains. The pool is a good size with Jacuzzi. Food is ok but cheap so you get what you pay for. Breakfast was ok but could be better. The staff are very friendly especially the chap with the tattoos but they are over stretched. The chap with the shirt on is very grumpy.
