Stayed in the coach house. Lovely retreat. Spa treatment was excellent. The sofa in the room was very tired and unclean, worthy of replacement. Overall a nice stay.

The stay here was really magical. Dinner. The bar and breakfast were all great. The grounds are beautiful. The staff was really nice and helpful The rooms however could have been cleaner tbh. The two sleep sofas were so stained they just needed to be thrown away. Even the carpet needed a good cleaning. Overall I really did love it

Overall the experience was really nice. The property was pretty & nice to walk around. The service was nice. Our room was on the small side but clean (we did have a problem with a broken shower head). The hotel is very secluded so I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to go out and explore any surrounding places.

Amazing place to stay with wonderfully kept gardens. The bar in the castle had such a great historic feel. And the breakfast was a real treat in the dining room in the Castle.
