I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, which has lovely rooms and fantastic breakfast options. The staff were incredibly professional and went out of their way to make me feel valued. However, the location might be a bit remote for some, and I did find the chairs in the bar area to be quite worn out. Overall, it was a great stay and I look forward to my next visit!

The hotel was visually stunning and offered spacious rooms, but my experience was marred by the service.

I was really looking forward to my stay at this hotel, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. While the room was spacious and comfortable, the issues with noise from the boiler room were frustrating. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being incredibly apologetic yet unable to fully resolve the issues we faced. The dining experience was a mixed bag; while the food was tasty, the portion sizes left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a place with potential, but my expectations were not met this time.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a spa break, and while the ambiance and room comfort were lovely, the service and dining experiences left much to be desired. The hotel is beautifully decorated and has a clean pool area, but disorganization in service during both dinner and breakfast was a significant downside. Overall, it felt like there were some serious staffing issues that affected our stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The setting is beautiful, nestled away in the woodland, making it a serene retreat. The spa and pool facilities are definitely highlights, providing a great ambiance for relaxation. However, my dining experience left a lot to be desired, as the restaurant service was noticeably poor, overshadowing the overall experience. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money for the room and amenities provided was fair.
