the staff adjusted meals for my husband because he can't eat dairy. they even created a special dessert. the 72 acre woodland is beautiful to walk round if you want to stay close to the hotel. the rooms include modern luxuries.
upon check-in i was told vaguely where my room was, it took some finding. this is a very long hotel and my room was some distance from reception. no one offered to show me to the room or help with my bags.

I spent several nights here. the restaurant food impressed me. i liked the woodland trail near the hotel. It offered a peaceful escape. the staff i encountered were friendly and provided efficient service.
The parking charge felt a bit excessive. I felt it should perhaps be included in the overall price, or at least be lower, given that there are limited alternative parking options nearby.

I found the food amazing. The staff assisted with meal adjustments for my husband who cannot eat dairy (they even created a special dessert).
I could hear everything upstairs, doors slamming and people talking in the car park from my window from 6am, the room was not well soundproofed.
