A nice experience.
Great location, room was quiet. Everything just looked a bit tired though. Food was excellent although they were very keen to clear your plates away as soon as you finish finished eating. Overall a nice experience.

A lovely hotel with a friendly team of staff. Access to the spa was a great bonus. The food was really good and welcome drink a nice surprise. We ate in the restaurant both nights. The Courtyard was a lovely space to take your drink. Good location. I would recommend a stay at this hotel.

The grounds are nice and the area wonderful.
The rooms are on the small side and so are the bathrooms but the bed was very comfortable and had some nice touches. Tea and coffee and biscuits.
The menu wasn’t great but what we had was quite good.

Cosy welcoming hotel
We really like this hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We liked our room and it was cosy too. We thought the newly renovated dining room was delightful but would have appreciated stronger lights so we could read in the bar area. A lovey stay and hoped to return soon.
