Rooms lovely and big, lean and cost. Restaurant was amazing. They accommodated us even though we arrived late. Will absolutely stay again.
Only 4 stars as hotel is undergoing a huge renovation so it’s a bit strange as rooms are painted over and some areas a little temporary.

Clean rooms. Great venuei. Area to walk dogs. Would be nice to sit out in summer (ours was a autumn visit). Grounds are nicely laid out with lit walks.
Hotel is going through some refurbishment currently especially in the main reception area.
Rooms were fine though.
Good facilities for informal meetings in the common areas.
Breakfast choices limited & lacking quantity. Waited for more to be ready & it still wasn't enough..
Hotel well good in a great location!

Great location and peaceful
Great location and peaceful. Great to have a restaurant, friendly staff and lovely food. Room did the job.
It would be good to have the option of turning radiator off - even when off mine was still very hot, which I didn’t need. The window was open for the duration. The bathroom fan was noisy but ineffective and the towel rail didn’t work.
