Its a lovely old property on fantastic grounds. As expected, the internal decor needs some rejuvenation but it is clean. The dinner option was very good, and the wait service by Barry was great!

Staff were very helpful and the setting and grounds are beautiful. However the hotel itself is run down. Sauna and lift not working. The shower temperature would not stay constant. Carpet in our room was threadbear. The toilet in the public area was filthy had no toilet paper and was like this for 2days. Clearly it had not been checked. The bar did not do food after 8 pm and had closed early. The restaurant food was overcooked and our made to order breakfast lacked some key components. The beds were comfortable and staff responded when we raised issues We would not stay here again unless it has major renovation

Best stay at a hotel for many a year

Our stay was simply superb. Staff were very helpful in rectifying a booking issue which ad all down to me, reception and bar an restaurant staff. The rooms were equally exceptionally. It is impossible to fault the hotel on anything at all. Our best stay at any hotel for many a year.

Nice, old fashioned hotel, with beautiful dining and tea rooms, lying in the middle of splendid trees and green fields (mostly part of the golf course). Bedroom is lacking a bit on the soundproof, but for the rest nothing to complain about. Excellent breakfast and diner.
