I was really concerned about the bad reviews on here, especially having already booked the hotel- but can say that we were very pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the Garden Rooms (18) away from the main house and found it to be warm, clean and had good facilities. The staff were all friendly, helpful and cheerful. We did not have dinner in the restaurant, but we were very impressed with the selection and quality of breakfast. They even had gluten free bread, despite the fact that I had neglected to request it at the time of booking. Again, the breakfast staff were lovely which seems to be quite rare these days. The taxi ride into town cost £8 which we were happy about as staying in more of a central hotel would have cost so much more. The snow did make the long driveway difficult to navigate, but we were pleased to see the steep parts had been cleared and gritted.

Hello there

My fiancé and I visited this hotel for two nights on the 27th of January and we thought the following...

The hotel is in a beautiful setting with stunning views.
The room was of a good standard and very clean.
We were not overly impressed with the spa facilities as they were quite basic and not very inviting. Having said that the gym is pretty well equipped.
All the staff were very friendly, the service and breakfast were second to none.
The major disappointment was the WIFI that did not work for the entire weekend and 3G coverage is limited in the area.
The driving range is addition to the facilities.
Very close to the city but beware parking in town on a Saturday is a NIGHTMARE!!!!

All in all good value for money and we would visit again.

S&S

We have just returned from a weekend spent in the beautiful surroundings of this tastefully decorated elegant and wonderfully friendly hotel. The room was off the charts luxury, the lounge is the perfect place to relax whilst choosing from the excellent menu. This place should be know for its gastronomy, the chef is obviously extremely talented, it would be worth going just for dinner! Spa, pool, indoor tennis, golf...it has everything and nothing was too much trouble...we are already planning our return!

We stayed at this hotel for just one night and wished that we could have stayed for much longer....looking forward to going back.
