We had booked for one night just as a quick break to watch our daughter skydive at a nearby airfield. How I wished we had booked longer -the hotel staff absolutely made our stay -they were so friendly and accommodating -nothing was too much trouble at all. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing -fantastic breakfast !!.... More

We had a small Wedding of 30 and we wanted it relaxed and informal which is exactly what we got. Nothing was too much trouble. We wanted a square table so that it felt we could include all our guests and it worked perfectly for us. All the arrangements went smoothly with the help of Tracey prior to the Wedding... More

When I booked & read the reviews on this hotel I had no idea how good it would actually be!

We booked on night through Secret Escapes and we were not disappointed.The hotel is surrounded by a lake and fields and is so relaxing. We spent the afternoon outside had a lovely lunch and enjoyed the sun. The service is excellent and the food in the AA rosetted restaurant was outstanding. Breakfast was also really good with lots of choices.

Just returned from a weekend break. Would just lie to say what a beautiful hotel. Our room was upgraded without even requesting it, and was lovely. In fact, it was the equivalent of a very large lounge in size! We will definitely return there.
