Had a wonderful and peaceful stay for my birthday - staff very kindly upgraded my room. I had the most relaxing facial at the spa which was worth every penny! I also really enjoyed the fish and chips from the restaurant. Cleanliness was overall good, but could've been improved when it came to stains on the sofa in the room, occasional hairs left on furniture and insects found in-between the window frames. I understand some of these can be difficult to remove, but that attention to detail would've have made the stay 10/10 for me.

Outstanding. From the minute I arrived it was clear this was an efficient, clean, and amazing hotel - staff were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be staying again. Shame it wasn’t a longer stay as would have liked to have had a walk round the gardens and hotel to see more.

I wanted this hotel to be be everything it promised to be, but it just isn’t. Our room was a bit tired and in need of modernisation. The decor in some areas feels very dated. It’s incredibly overpriced, our room was as small as it possibly could be, but the Garden Room restaurant is definitely the main culprit here. The vibe is plain odd, and the food is just fine. The vegetarian Tortelloni was £37. I wish we’d just eaten in the bar…. better atmosphere and a better selection of food. The staff were again ‘fine’. No real warm welcome and some of them just seemed to lack training. Not their fault at all. It feels like a hotel that just hasn’t got a real hold on what it wants to be. There was nothing particularly awful about our stay, but I just couldn’t recommend the place.
