Great gem

Have not stayed here for a few years, not a lot has changed, stilll amazing room, with walk in shower and huge, comfortable bed. Plus some nice extra touches in the room with upmarket décor and mini fridge The brasserie is not open Mon/Tues but the café offers evening meals that were fabulous. Delicious, fresh and a great selection. The staff were amazing as well, great service, friendly and superbly attentive. Will be looking to stay here again

Faultless

Fantastic place to stay. The accommodation is made up of serval buildings each divided into separate accommodation areas. The bedroom was large and extremely well appointed. The bathroom was huge and offered a double stone bath and a massive walk-in shower. Everything has been thought out to the finest detail. Where this hotel may not suit everyone is that it doesn't have a formal restaurant. However the cafe/coffee shop offers very nice home cooked food from breakfast, lunch and dinner and has extremely friendly and attentive staff. I liked this hotel. It has character and offers something totally different to the usual accommodation box on offer.

Fabulous resort style hotel.

Booked on a recommendation from a local venue and it didn’t disappoint all rooms are in lodges with a cafe/bistro on site. We had breakfast and dinner which were both freshly cooked and excellent.
