We had a great one night stay in the hotel and the room was excellent. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Our only disappointment was there was no 4G available and the WI-FI didn’t work in the bedroom.

Lovely venue, shame about the cleanliness

The hotel was in a great location and look amazing, the staff were friendly and everything was going well, until we entered the room, the cleanliness was subpar to say the least, the bathroom was the worst, there was mildew and dirt that had been there for sometime as you can see from the pictures.

Great get away.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and spacious, lots of choices for diners. Breakfast was buffet style, very varied and the view from the dining windows looked over the grounds. All in all, an enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.

New years eve

Had a lovely stay for the new year. Staff were brilliant but this hotel is in need of some updating. We had a superior suite but the bathroom was in need of updating and the carpet in the bedroom had stains all over it. We probably wouldn’t stay again for these reasons. The New Year’s Eve party was excellent and the staff were great.
