Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were in need of updating, and the noise from a wedding reception in the function room below was disruptive. However, the location was great with peaceful grounds despite being close to the town center. The service had some issues, but there were standout staff members who were friendly and helpful. The dining experience was pleasant, and the breakfast buffet was good. Overall, it was a mixed experience in terms of value for money.
The hotel offers a picturesque location with lovely converted stables and a delightful breakfast experience. The rooms provide direct access to beautiful grounds, but some issues with the Jacuzzi may arise. The friendly service adds a personal touch to the stay, although occasional chef unavailability may affect dining options.
The hotel rooms were not great, looking very tired with a non-functional jacuzzi bath, poorly sealed window, and outdated decor. However, the staff service was excellent, ensuring a smooth experience throughout the day. The location was lovely, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience had good quality but was overpriced. The facilities were adequate.
