We were blown away on entry as an lovely Real Meaning large easter egg greeted us in the self catering lodge. What a beautiful gesture! Wonderful activities for the children. Friendly staff. Very well equipped lodges. Major disappointment tarnished the break: as a special treat we had booked ahead to have Easter Sunday lunch there, expecting it to be a... More

We stayed in three of the lodges for a family weekend get together. It worked really well for us. The lodges are very well equipped and good value for money.

Good food, friendly and helpful staff. The downside was a room which was in need of redecoration and a bed that was past its best. We... More

It's a Christian hotel, full of uniformly very elderly guests, dry, and clean but with very tired and old fashioned decoration. Clearly liked by the mostly very elderly Christians who were in...

I've / we've stayed in several of the Christian Guild places - and this is probably the best - although as with all CG hotels the atmosphere and organization of things like meals are a little different. Out rooms were ok - nothing special but not awful. I would like to try one of the wooden lodges. The test for... More
