"Loved the large spacious room and the added bonus of use of the spa. The four poster bed was extremely comfy if not a little difficult for a short person to get in and out of. Only downside was the lack of mirror to enable you to do your hair or makeup and the world’s smallest water glasses. A very pleasant and peaceful stay."

"Our experience was excellent. Vlad from the restaurant was exceptional for my daughter's multiple severe allergies, he cooked her food separately and she eat like a king, the service was the best anyone could ask for. Nothing was too much trouble. 5 star plus. Chelsea who is first aid trained came to see us in our room where my daughter needed medical assistance due to her having an allergic reaction to a hot chocolate that Costa had made for her at the Burghley Horse Trials, we came back to the hotel and my daughter was getting worse after having all the medications she could have before EpiPen and Chelsea was amazing, she was very calming with lots of knowledge and she helped us. Thank you Chelsea. The receptionist was extremely helpful when I had called down to reception asking for some more tissues and she was very quick with the service too. I can't say thank you enough to you all for making our stay an amazing and wonderful time. It is truly appreciated you are all amazing. I highly recommend this hotel to all, they really care and are excellent for allergies and they are extremely efficient Thank you so much"

"Saw very few staff around. Couple of times reception was deserted for prolonged periods and no one was on the bar either. Maybe just low staffing levels that weekend. Staff we did encounter were friendly. Hotel is clean but a little old fashioned with its decor and felt slightly shabby in the corridors. Room had comfortable beds and a great refurbished bathroom. Parking was plentiful & it’s in a very convenient location. Would stay again if needed to be in the area"
