Always consistently good here and the only place I stay when away on business. Was staying in olive apartment this time and was lovely stay. Only downside was the people staying in the same block had a dog which they left in their room while they went to the bar so was barking and scratching at the doors all night until they come back at 10.45pm Not ideal but also not the hotels fault. Rooms very clean and spacious can’t wait to stay again

No Food available after 6hour drive

We've stayed at this hotel before, however this time there was no food available, food service stopped at 4-5pm. Also bar closed at 8PM we arrived at 7:30. The hotel is not near any other restaurant or pub so it was another drive after our 6hour journey to get to the hotel to find something to eat. If we had know this we would not have booked this hotel.

Lovely setting beautiful gardens. interesting rooms. Room access by stairs -very steep-. we are all over 70 but very active but an offer of help with luggage would have been appreciated. Room facilities good but access to bed on one side difficult due to sloping ceiling, One small shelf in bathroom inadequate for overnight toiletries for one person let alone for a couple. Only one bath towel provided had to ask for another. Light switch for bathroom hard to locate at night. Menu in restaurant a bit disappointing. Irritating that a dog outside yelped a lot. Breakfast menu OK but porridge lacked inspiration but staff good. We have spent all our working lives travelling and try to offer fsir comments and constructive criticism

Lovely hotel & room. Surroundings were beautiful. Super arrangement (coffee shop) for breakfast, but only one option from the menu was too limited. Food when it arrived wasn't hot enough really. Should have pointed this out. Don't like to make a fuss.

Rooms are to a high standard and very clean, they are also equipped with a mini bar and contents (extra charge). Staff are very polite, friendly, helpful and attentive. The food in the Bistro is very good with ample choice, the breakfast choice is good and the food amazing.

The breakfast was awful. We had to book time slot. However when we arrived the eggs weren’t ready. I informed them in advance I was vegetarian when arrived for breakfast they asked if I anted vegetarian sausage. I waited 15 minutes and hen I asked if it was ready waitress said she forgot to order it. Coffee was horrible although they had a coffee machine they just had jug of coffee on side. Hotel room was 5* however breakfast was 1*. Really disappointing

We only stayed here for one Night while in the area, lovely gardens,rooms are very nicely decorated with a modern bathroom, we had a few cobwebs but generally very clean, breakfast included which was very nice and enough for me if you are the sort of person that likes a huge full English you may be disappointed 1 sausage and 2 bacon but it was enough for us, Beds very comfortable had a lovely nights sleep.

Very nice stay staff could not be more helpful and pleasant. Room was very big with extras that made the stay even better. Bath robes, magazines and umbrella these extra made it feel like a personal touch, the coffee and tea making facilities in the room very good. Herbal tea bags would have been nice but that’s just a personal preference. We will definitely be booking to stay again.
