We were a group of 4 travellers and we had 2 family rooms which were very spacious and clean. We ate in the restaurant from a very good menu and the next morning the breakfast choice was excellent and the food nice and hot. All the staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel and we will stay again.

This was our first visit. The hotel was excellent and the grounds are spectacular. The staff were wonderful. A faulty bath tap in our original room resulted in an instant room change (an upgrade!). There is little else to add really...it was superb. Just go.
