We stayed for 1 night at the Balmer lawn as a special treat for my birthday and were hoping for a luxury 4 star experience. Well the good points first -the hotel is in a beautiful location with a lovely outlook. The service in the bar is impeccable, we had a tasty dinner and the hotel was lovely and cosy... More

Firstly, when we arrived and were checking in, we realised that we were not the only people to have taken advantage of a deal via Groupon, as the couple in front of us had too. Immediately, upon entering the reception area, there is a lovely feeling to the place. Some places have this, most do not. Our room was number... More

We booked 2 nights short break in January as we had stayed many times in the past with the children and as a couple. The hotel has refurbished to a high standard and we were upgraded to a superior room on arrival. The charge per night was an absolute bargain at £79. The room was huge and immaculate with a... More

My mother and I stayed at this hotel for one night in January with my 2 year old daughter. I always rather dread taking her to hotels as some say that they welcome children but in reality this is not the case.

My wife and I stayed here for one night only on the 10th January, the occasion was our 15th wedding anniversary. We wanted to push the boat out a bit and we were not disappointed!! Its looks quite impressive and the reception staff, on our arrival, and throughout our short stay could not have been more pleasant to deal with.... More

I would like to mention that not only does this Hotel serve excellent lunches, but also highly recommend the afternoon tea! What a lovely way to relax with a friend. The friendly service and delicious afternoon tea ( sandwiches, scones and scrumptious home made cakes and biscuits) in very pleasant surroundings. All at a very reasonable price. A great way... More
