Great stay but don't bother with breakfast!

Hotel was well decorated in the main areas - looking fairly newly redone. The service was good. The only issue is the quality of the breakfast buffet is terrible - i mean really terrible. We arrived at breakfast around 9.30 - the eggs were like rubber, sausages the cheapest you can buy, bacon like rubber, instant coffee only. The toast was the highlight, which speaks volumes. Otherwise a great stay.

Great location and family friendly room

The hotel is in a beautiful location. Lively views from our room and peaceful. Our family room (number 35) was perfect for us and our two boys, with plenty of space and separte areas and TVs for adults and children. We ordered room service, which arrived promptly and of cery good quality. There were able to cater for a gluten-free diet with no issue. Breakfast was limited, with a small continental buffet and a basic cooked breakfast buffet. It would have been nice to see more local produce on the menu and more gluten-free options (even more packaged cakes, breads etc would have been better). Overall a great place to stay and we will definitely return

Pleasant stay.

Asked for a nice view, got a grass bank as tall as the window and traffic cones on top. The bed was rock hard. The room was spacious and the staff friendly. Breakfast was ok. Good that you coukd use the pool area after check out. Shame there was no outdoor furniture on the large patio in the sunshine. Also a pity you couldn't order lunch by the pool or on the patio. A nice hotel but a bit dated and missing a few opportunities.

Good and some things could be better

This was my second stay. I had the same room and it was approximately £50 more and I had b&b both times! The wifi is poor and I struggled to work on it. I love being able to join the great gym class with Dan and the woodland walk is really lovely. The food in the brasserie is good but £29 for a steak is high. The room is dated but did the job

Lovely stay, beautiful surroundings.

We only stayed one night, the hotel facilities are lovely as are the grounds. Staff are superb. There were a few things, the loo brush and flush handle were corroded, there was dust on the side lights. We couldn't turn the radiator off. There was black mould in the shower. And the gutter was blocked and overflowing by our room, ehich woke me in the night, in heavy rain. All of this is trivial and didn't spoil our stay. The staff were brilliant and all really friendly. We had a lovely stay.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food in the brasserie was tasty and ok priced. The breakfast was ok. Small selection but good quality, unfortunately some of the crockery was dirty. The rooms were fine, but our en-suite was very small; comfy bed and good smart tv options. The grounds were nice to go and look around too. The hotel and swimming pool are tired overall and could do with some money spent on them. We chose the hotel because of the spa facilities but weren’t impressed by them. The ladies changing rooms were dirty and too small. Really awkward to sidle past half naked ladies to get to the badly positioned lockers! Jacuzzi was warm and incredibly bubbly. My husband enjoyed the sauna but said the steam room was extremely hot. Overall it was an ok stay but we wouldn’t return.

I won't be returning

I've returned to stay at this hotel, as it is based in a lovely woodland and has a lovely area to walk, and residents can join the gym classes and make use of the hotel gym and pool. Sadly I was not able to make use of any of the above this time due to work commitments. Sadly the hotel wifi was dreadful for the 3rd time of staying and its resulted in me deciding not to return to stay here again. When I am away for work I need to have good connectivity to be able to do admin work and its never been available in any part of the hotel, rooms or bar. The hotel overall could do with modernising, some of the rooms are quite basic and the breakfast could do with a better selection of cooked breakfast options. The only option is a classic english breakfast, which does not look very appealing.

Beware the golfers are noisy in the bar, there was a completion on when we arrived, they weren’t about in the evening. The restaurant was quite peaceful and the staff were lovely. Our evening meal was great and breakfast was good. We used this venue for an overnight stay prior to catching the ferry to Santander, it made for a very comfortable stay.

Lovely stay in a country house hotel

Car parking was ok, right outside the hotel but limited spaces. Warm friendly welcome, despite a small issue with pre-payment not initially recognised. Hotel was quite busy with a wedding on but this didn’t seem to impact our stay, no loud music. It was VERY warm, thankfully a fan was provided in the room. Dinner was delicious, service times were reasonably quick and took notice of dietary requirements. We were presented with the wrong bill but this was quickly resolved. Food and drink prices were average for a hotel. Breakfast was a good self-service selection of hot and cold food including bacon, sausages, fried eggs, cereals, yoghurt, pastries etc and the obligatory toast-furnace! Only downside was that some guests outside our room (which overlooked the bar outside seating area) were quite loud early in the morning and this led to a disturbed sleep - if you’re booking here I’d recommend asking for a room at the back of the hotel away from the bar.
