Best hotel I've stayed in by far
We had a wonderful stay, it was our anniversary and they made swans out of the towels, put rose petals on the bed and left us some delicious macarons and an anniversary card, it was so thoughtful. The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was so comfortable! We had breakfast served in our room too, which was a real treat.

Beautiful hotel. Lovely touches such as hot chocolate in reception available with marshmallows, such a treat. Bar area great with lovely band playing in the evening. Stayed with friends and booked under one reservation but was disappointed when our rooms were on different levels. There is no spa facilities which is confusing from photos of website.

Couples Trip - Ok
The hotel itself is lovely and the staff all very helpful/friendly. £225 a night I think is steep, you have to pay for parking and our room was on the smaller side and stuffy. No window as on ground floor, but had a door which led to the car park for obvious reasons couldn’t leave that open. Bathroom small and you couldn’t turn the towel rail off so was boiling. The shower hose kept disconnecting from the shower head, but was a fully booked hotel and 11pm so didn’t bother saying anything as we wanted to go to bed! A shame as I had high hopes, but the hotel itself is lovely i just don’t think it’s worth that sort of money.

Lovely hotel good location
Lovely hotel in a good location the rooms are really nice, the only down side is that the breakfast service was really slow, the breakfast itself was lovely but it took ages before they took our order we waited a really long time even to get a cup of tea, also couldn't get in the car park and had trouble getting into the other car park they suggest you use.

Two night stay
Everyone has been very pleasant and helpful however I was very disappointed when we tried to eat in on Saturday evening. We were never told we had to book a table nor were we informed there would be an event that evening allowing food only to be served in the bar area. We were eventually accommodated with another table being set up. However the bar was busy and it was surprising that all the coats of the event guests were hung in the bar area which certainly detracted from the ambience. I would have thought they should have been placed in an area actually rented by the wedding party.
