The most gorgeous and special hotel
We absolutely loved this hotel. The decor is beautiful the whole place has a lovely homely, country feel, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and it’s immaculate. Our room was gorgeous with lovely touches like home made biscuits a luxurious bed waiting for us and our dog along with bowls and treats for her. Toiletries were really nice, made with essential oils. Amazing food too and we felt very welcome!

Fabulous stay.
Fabulous check in experience, actually shown to my room. Room was great, a little tired in places but very clean. The view over the courtyard and countryside was wonderful. Had dinner in the restaurant and the food was superb. Worth going back for the chocolate dessert alone! Every single member of staff I had contact with were fantastic, nothing was any trouble. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Easy parking, wonderful service and food
Every person we met in the hotel was extremely friendly, happy, helpful and welcoming. We were looked after so well by everyone, including dealing with allergies in the restaurant. The breakfast was good and the dinner was wonderful (very flexible with the menu). The bed was really comfortable. Even though our rooms were near the road I slept easily with my earplugs. The only slight challenge was turning on the huge rose style shower without getting your hair soaked as we didn't have a shower cap.

Lumpy bed
The hotel is a bit dated and in need of updating. We booked a king bed and it was very small, maybe a queen. The mattress was poor quality. The curtain and linens smelled musty. The staff in bar and restaurant were lovely and food was good. Overall just average

Disapointed
Bit disappointing. Poor internet in some rooms. Bar food was not to my liking. Rooms ok.
Total mess up with my bill and overcharged on breakfast and on total bill. Even overcharged my c/card when they new bill was wrong and caused me some major issues with my business expense claims.

Overnight stay
Ideal as a fishing trip hotel, quiet with good food and service. Room needed updating - secondary glazing for road noise makes room hot and stale. New mattress and shower fitting required.

The staff were very friendly and helpful from reception, breakfast and domestic. Beautiful grounds and lovely shop on site. Only issue was there was a lot of noise from the road.
