lovely grounds warm atmosphere special team
the grounds were lovely. i really enjoyed the surrounding walks. the fires created such a warm atmosphere after those long walks. the team.!!
i arrived early, two hours before check-in, on a rainy day, but i couldn't stay inside until 3pm. i had to wait in the car, a small inconvenience on an otherwise beautiful day.

The breakfast was very good. The staff were very attentive.
The room was comfortable although very tired and a bit grubby. I thought it was not worth what I paid. The decor seemed quite outdated.

Absolutely Fantastic Stay!

friendly staff car parking venison main
The staff were professional and friendly from start to finish! The service included car parking upon arrival. Dinner was superb, with a lobster starter and venison main. I shall definitely return!!!
I had a slight issue with the breakfast arrangement. Eating it off a low coffee table in the lounge was a little awkward. I think a higher table would have.

mixed feelings about my stay

dinner pressure small starters
the staff were attentive.
i found the insistence on ordering more drinks during dinner quite off-putting.. it felt less like service and more like pressure, which detracted from the dining experience. the portions were also surprisingly small, especially the starters.
