Lovely hotel! What an absolutely lovely hotel. The staff are so friendly and the service impeccable. Our room was so large and the bed was the most comfortable ever! Absolute star of the show is the restaurant in the evening. This is Michelin star worthy food. Totally unexpected and absolutely delicious. We were sad not to have more time here as we didn’t have a chance to use the spa or explore the grounds (which looked gorgeous). I can’t recommend this hotel enough. ##### Miss Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House Moreton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Manor-House-Moreton.h40034573.Hotel-Information) > > [Warmwell Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Warmwell-Lodge.h44457962.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brace of Pheasants](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Brace-Of-Pheasants.h4185837.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Fox-Inn.h2275935.Hotel-Information) > > [George Albert Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-George-Albert-Hotel.h3883869.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h11974546.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-New-Inn.h7426329.Hotel-Information) > > [Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Delightful-Thatched-Cottage-In-Beautiful-Sleepy-Dorset-Village-And-Countryside.h59635075.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Coach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Coach-House-Inn.h5769339.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oak at Dewlish](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Oak-At-Dewlish.h4311418.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Greyhound Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Greyhound-Inn.h10648883.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaggle Of Geese Pub & Shepherd Huts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-GAGGLE-OF-GEESE-PUB-SHEPHERD-HUTS.h48975420.Hotel-Information) > > [The Frampton Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Frampton-Arms.h36708809.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
