“Managed to have another fantastic week here. Lots of fantastic facilities here, swimming, spa and golf to name a few. Staff were fantastic as per normal. Room was clean, beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. Would like to thank the guys behind the scenes who we never see, like the cleaners, kitchen staff etc. Thank you all.”

“This is a lovely hotel in a fantastic setting, beautiful golf course that you can walk around. We stayed in the family room which was a great size with a cracking bathroom, brilliant power shower. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We ate in the brasserie bar and the food was really good, big portions and reasonably priced. Bonus of a brilliant leisure complex that the kids couldn't get enough of. Breakfast was spot on, cereals and pastries plus a full English. Lovely stay and we will stay here again when in the area..”

“Amazing staff running a very picturesque hotel set in fabulous grounds of established trees and a stunning golf course which we were lucky enough to have a lovely view of from our room. The room had really lovely decor, with plenty of space for our little dashound, who loved the biscuit treats and bowl ready and waiting for him upon our arrival. We had a meal in the bistro where the staff once again were friendly, helpful and fabulous. The food was all homemade and delicious. We would definitely recommend this hotel.”

“This place is totally stunning, beautiful and peaceful. All the staff were amazing and took the time to ensure everything was catered for you. I went due to work and I wanted a place that was peaceful and tranquil and did I get it. Sat on the terraces with amazing views from the deer in the morning and amazing sunsets at night. The food was amazing. The room was spacious, clean and to be honest, beautiful. I loved this place and will miss it. In saying that, hopefully my company will send me back down there and even if my work is 50 miles away from this hotel, then I would stay here regardless and travel. Thank you for a fantastic and relaxing few weeks.”
