The rooms were nice and comfortable, just slightly darker than I would have preferred. The staff were excellent—very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.
The restaurant was a real highlight. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were brilliant. Service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly.

Rooms lovely and big, lean and cost. Restaurant was amazing. They accommodated us even though we arrived late. Will absolutely stay again.
Only 4 stars as hotel is undergoing a huge renovation so it’s a bit strange as rooms are painted over and some areas a little temporary.

Clean rooms. Great venuei. Area to walk dogs. Would be nice to sit out in summer (ours was a autumn visit). Grounds are nicely laid out with lit walks.
Hotel is going through some refurbishment currently especially in the main reception area.
Rooms were fine though.
Good facilities for informal meetings in the common areas.
