Beautiful grounds

Lovely hotel although could do with a little tlc in places, pool was too cold for us but other than that steam room & sauna were fantastic. Restaurant menu was pricey but the 3 course buffet option was fantastic offer at £35pp. Would love to return as perfect place to stay when visiting the bp pulse live/nec, took under 15 mins to get back from show

Beautiful place to stay, lovely calm, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Friendly, helpful and polite staff. Great selection at breakfast. Only downside was no air-con in my bedroom and was very hot through the night. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent apart from Fire alarm!

Friendly staff and allowed us to check in 45 mins earlier. Pool was very nice and service was excellent . One really big downfall was the smoke alarm was triggered so all guest had to be evacuated out of the building at 4.am in the morning! With kids this was very difficult. Had to wait outside for nearly an hour till all was clear. We had no explanation from the hotel. I would appreciate something in return.

Beautiful hotel!

A lovely hotel! Full of charm and set in a gorgeous location. Having the resident cat made it even more special! The spa was a great feature, but the showers needed a little TLC as they were a bit smelly! Would stay again, can’t wait to come back!

We’ve stayed at this hotel several times and really enjoy the location and the service from the staff. Only let down on this stay we felt was that the rooms seemed a bit dusty. Surfaces could have been willed down with more care
