We stayed in one of the garden rooms as a nice break away from work. The room looked nice from the outside but wasn’t up to the same standard on the inside. There was mould on the entrance curtain and a lot of dust in the main room. The bathroom was covered in mould behind the sink, toilet, on the blind that is in the shower and on the basket where the clean towels are placed. It was very disappointing for the money spent. The room itself should be nice but hasn’t been finished to a high standard, shoddy workmanship for the finish’s like the plug in the wardrobe, handles on the cupboards loose, toilet roll holder loose, damage to the wood on the doors. The room also felt a bit cramped with not much space to navigate past the bed and too the bathroom. We actually came back to our room after a long walk when the cleaners were doing our room so instead of disturbing them we attempted to get a drink from the bar but there was a wedding on so we couldn’t (which is fair enough) and by the time we walked past our room, 5mins later the room had been ‘cleaned’. Thermostat wasn’t working so no way to cool the room down during the day and can only cool down the room with the doors wide open which in the evening is no good as the lights are generally on so attracts all the bugs. The hot tub was the only good feature of the room.
We did complain to the manageress who took our feedback onboard and was going to offer us some form of discount but we are still waiting to hear back from her

Absolutely fantastic accommodation. Spotlessly clean. Very quiet area, so perfect.
Only fault is lack of ventilation, no a/c and only patio window opens.
Breakfast was a real bonus. It’s a 5 minute walk to pub in local village.

Close proximity of neighbours is not apparent on website. We had very rowdy neighbours on our last night. They were shouting, moving furniture and slamming doors between 12.30 and 2.30 at night

Damp and Poor Cleanliness
Unfortunately despite being in an idyllic location, the Garden Room was very disappointing in terms of condition and cleanliness.
Water / damp was seeping up through in many areas through the laminate flooring which meat feet were always wet. Damp and mould was creeping up the walls, and the bathroom door would not close at all due to warping from the damp. Wooden panels were coming away from the walls, the sliding door had broken seals and was so hard to open and the curtains and doors were filthy, also through damp and poor cleanliness.
Unfortunately there was nobody available on departure to discuss things with or to request a refund.
My partner was struggling to breath in the room due to the strong smell of damp and due to the mouldy areas on the walls.
Such a shame as the grounds and location are very good indeed.
Are Hotels.com able to seek compensation on our behalf or can this communication be forwarded to the property for consideration.

Check in reception area difficult to find. Parking area difficult to find. No available seating for breakfast so had to have a bag of food delivered to your door at their appointed time (8-845). Walkways to your room were made with very loose stones so almost impossible to manoeuvre your luggage-not senior friendly. Only 1 restaurant available to eat at and when the 4 of us went for supper we could not eat inside! Had to eat out on picnic tables and it was cold out! The multiple empty tables inside were being held for reservations! Having fire pits at each unit is a great idea until it is hot in your room and you can’t open your door as the smell of smoke from the neighbours fire pit comes right in

Overall good. Cleaning in room could be improved, finishing touches just not there. Hot tub lid in poorer condition than expected for 5 stars
On first glance the cozy room was cute. But the longer I stayed the more flaws appeared. Mould in bathroom, bathrobes were grubby and well worn albeit clean. Towels also felt well worn. Bathroom door didn't shut. Light in the cupboard with tea / coffee maker was in a sensor that went off every few seconds. When the persons in the neighbouring room came back a light shone through to our room. Hit my head on the tv. Not allowed in newton hall for food or drinks tho the food / breakfast offered at the local pub was very nice and probably the best bit.

Really disappointing
Really disappointing stay. Lovely spot but clearly just set up for wedding guests despite being offered more generally. Looks lovely but just didn’t work well for a family - three night stay and hot water failed on 2 days. Kitchen but no tea towel. Leaking radiator and permanently wet floor. Kept being promised a call back from the manager but never received this.
We have just returned from our first stay at the garden rooms and overall feel a little underwhelmed.
Check-in - we arrived just at check in time and headed to the main building to find a reception. We couldn't find a single member of staff anywhere and stood at reception for a good 20 mins, headed round the back and a cleaner confirmed we were at the right place. Proceeded back to the desk and a queue had built up still no staff to be found. A further 10 minutes passed and someone appeared on reception and we finally got given our keys.
Room - overall first impressions were good. Small details let it down and just didn't have a luxury feel and more of a glamping feeling in my opinion. Curtains were hanging off so they didn't cover the full glass front, easily rectified by standing on a chair and clipping them back on. Bedding was worn and clicked in places. Extra cushions on the bed were stained and dirty. Teabags and the tea tray were all soggy and looked like they had been there for years, I headed round to reception for new teabags. Bathroom felt grubby. I know these are garden rooms but the ceiling and blinds were thick of cobwebs and bugs which I hated. Outside furniture covered in bird poo and again cobwebs all over. Hot tub was lovely and hot which we enjoyed. We returned from our dog walk to find someone had taken the chimnea from our patio which was really disappointing and we tried to contact reception by the room phone but couldn't get through to anyone.
Gorgeous cabins. Very modern interior, finished to a high standard. Lovely outdoor area with hot tub, chimney and furniture.
Low Newton beach is walkable from the cabins and is a beautiful beach. The Joiners Arms serves lovely food and drinks. The breakfast is fabulous.
Lovely stay in both winter and summer.

Needs some work!
I really wanted to love this place! The photos on the listing are amazing, and while the room I stayed in was beautifully decorated, there were a few things that really let it down.
On booking, I added a note that I would be staying with my dog. On arrival, the staff seemed surprised that I was staying alone (despite one person being stated on the booking) and the advertised bed, bowls and treats for dogs weren’t in my room. I had to track someone down to ask for them. The charge for dogs also seems very steep!
The room itself had a strong musty smell, which I found was due to black mould along the bottom of the walls in the bathroom particularly in the shower.
There’s a small window in the bathroom but this doesn’t open. There’s also no AC or ventilation in the room apart from the sliding patio doors. As a result; I had to sleep with the door open to let some fresh air in and cool the room down.
There were hairs on the bed and the shower when I checked in. The loo roll and hand towel holders were also loose, and the bathroom sink doesn’t drain very well so nearly overflowed when I was washing my face before bed.
The room is in a semi-detached cabin - not an issue but they aren’t hugely soundproof and I could feel people walking round in the background room next door as the floor shook.
Breakfast was also disappointing.
Each of these things alone wouldn’t have been a huge issue but collectively put a dampener on the stay.
Sadly, I won’t be back.
