We have stayed at the Shendish a couple of times before since we regularly stay in this locality in order to visit relatives. We have always enjoyed the accommodation and the food has always been of excellent quality but we have had cause to complain in the past due to the service being rather too efficient and we would have preferred a slightly more relaxed approach in the dining room. This time, however, we were absolutely blown away by the change in atmosphere in the dining room and it really...

The staff at this hotel are outstanding. The room is stylish but not fancy - good quality furnishings and fittings. The was my second stay and I love it.
The food in the restaurant is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.
Just remember access to the car park is behind the hotel and a narrow entrance that you might miss first time! Plenty of spaces though!

We had a lovely overnight stay in one of the junior suites. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated- the only slight issue was that the windows rattled and it was an especially windy night, but a bit of card sorted that. The food in the restaurant was very good and they were very helpful with dietary requirements. We had a dip in the pool too, which is not big but perfectly formed. I would definitely recommend a get away here. Very relaxing!

We had a wonderful weekend, the sun was shining so the outdoor pool was a must. We opted for Collette's restaurant in the evening, the food was divine and attention and service first class. The grounds are amazing with lovely water features, plants and contemporary design ornaments. A great weekend in fab hotel.

Lovely hotel but the superior rooms are badly in need of refurbishment. I expected by its title, a superior room, that’s what I paid for, but these are no better than a standard room in need of refurbishment. We stayed here 5 years ago and the showers have the same broken tiles with old wooden seats, dirt between the cracks of the broken tiles. There’s no excuse for this in a hotel charging these prices.
That said, when I mentioned our disappointment we were upgraded to a better room and that...

We came as a group of 4 to celebrate a special birthday. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the super gym and swimming pool.

The farm was beautiful and the access to the land was wonderful. There's still some exploring we'd like to do, next time.
The room was superb, cleanliness was at a high standard.
All staff were welcoming and friendly.
I highly recommend this place

I am kind of reluctant to write this as I want to keep this little Gem a secret all for myself, but I have to share with you all what a wonderful place the Bel and Dragon is. Right from the start I was greeted by a roaring log fire and a friendly face at checkout, whilst being shown my room the complementary 10yr and 12yr old whiskeys for the guests to sample where pointed out.
The room was immaculate and decorated to a very fine finish.
