We have just returned from a beautiful weekend here. The whole experience from start to finish has been nothing but perfect. The garden view suite was stunning comfortable and relaxing and had everything you need. We dined at the grill in the evening which was delicious and the staff were so attentive. We visited the spa twice I loved how you could go whenever you wanted without needing to book. The infinity pool was lovely and relaxing! Breakfast was also delicious with lots of choice. We can't wait to return in the future. Thank you!

Retirement treat….!

Absolutely superb from start to finish. The property itself is fantastic - traditional and characterful but with contemporary modern facilities. The spa is excellent and attention to detail second to none. Food was delicious from breakfast to evening meal. The staff are exemplary and special thanks to Fiona on front desk for the upgrade which really made our stay that bit extra special. Thankyou. Will definitely return soon

Lovely property and facilities, unfortunately hotel pool policy is very not friendly towards families with children. Property website states 2 time slots of 2h for children to access pool, however on arrival we were informed that they changed it to 1h slot only at 8.30-9.30am. We felt treated as 2nd category customers, hence won’t come back

This is such a special place, historic, scenic,homely,warm and welcoming. The garden suite was outstanding and the food quality excellent. The only thing I could possibly complain about was the Guiness as sad as that is. It frustrates me incredibly when I order a branded draught beverage and it comes in a different branded glass. The Guiness was poured in one go whereas the connoisseurs of the black beauty recognise and appreciate it’s a slow patient process leaving mid way to stand for a while. I did not like to inform the extremely pleasant and obliging Italian barman in the error of his ways. Apart from that minor misdemeanor we can’t wait until we return.

A lovely hotel but it has a flaw.

This hotel is excellent in many ways but not perfect. The staff are efficient, friendly and helpful. The location is also superb. However it had one element that lets it down - the Lakeview Restaurant. The food is good quality and well presented but desperately overpriced. We appreciate fine dining and understand that you pay for quality but this misses the mark by a broad margin. £6 for a portion of carrot or peas is hard to justify particularly when the main courses are not even fine dining portions. My starter of smoked mackerel comprised three pieces all smaller than my little finger and a lot of rocket and a couple of dots of horseradish. £12! Sorry not good. The Grill located at the other side of the hotel is far better value for money and quality of food.
