"We went with low expectations and weren’t disappointed. True the rooms were tired and the beds were soft but it was reflected in the price. They are slowly refitting with their internal team which makes sense so some rooms may be more expensive than others. It’s in a lovely setting and not far to Stamford where you will find the best Nepalese restaurant outside Nepal"

"Fabulous location and warm welcome. Our room, the Zodiac room, was large, very comfortable and beautifully furnished. It was very hot but there was already a fan in the room. My partner had a back massage and said it was great, as we're the facilities. There is no out door jacuzzi due to building works and it didn't spoil our time there. The restaurant was a little pricey but the food, service and vino very good. We will come back 😁👍"
