Great return stay
Wonderful stay once again. Beautiful room, set up perfectly with garden access for the dog. Very festively decorated with trees and garlands, roaring fires perfect to relax next to. Dinner and breakfast hot, tasty and well served. See you all again in the new year!

Fantastic - not a bad word to say
Friendly greeting on arrival, beautiful traditional hotel with a grand feel. Despite the late booking by ourselves we were congratulated on arrival (our honeymoon), had extra special touches in the room and complimentary drinks before dinner. Evening meal was superb, great waiting staff with a fantastic atmosphere. Cannot wait to return in the very near future.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disappointing
The grounds and location were beautiful however the food was very average and over priced for what it was. Breakfast was very disappointing with many dishes incurring extra costs. The room was a nice size but the walls were damp with paint coming off, the cups offered for tea and coffee were dirty, to charge the fees they do the whole place needs a revamp and the kitchen needs to use better quality produce. They have extensive gardens why not use them. Overall there are far better alternatives in the area.

Nice hotel
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Don’t get me wrong, it could do with some serious renovations, but it’s not as bad as some of the other reviews. The staff are exceptional and always willing to help. The views are astounding and breathtaking and if it’s peace and quiet you’re after, then this is the place. Stunning setting, convenient location to nearby village with lots of eateries. It was generally clean but there’s always room for improvement. We had a pleasant stay nonetheless.
