We booked for a one night stay but ended up staying a second night. From the moment of our arrival the staff were exemplary. Our bedroom was so relaxing with one of the most comfortable beds and pillows I've ever come across in a hotel. The food was so flavourful and delicious. Such a lovely atmosphere with some of the best trained staff were nothing is too much to ask them and your comfort is what matters. A beautiful place and I wanted to stay longer.

Nice quiet place, bed very luxurious, breakfast was top notch. Knocked it down a star because you have to make an appointment to go to the hotel pool ( that’s free). There were limited spots, and I know there wasn’t a full pool at 7 am when I wanted to go before breakfast. This prevented me from swimming and made me sad.

Nice stylsh Hotel in rural setting.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Very nice hotel in lovely natural sourroundings. Spacious, comfortable, stylish bedroom with large modern bathroom. Good food and friendly service. Three dining options to choose from. I would have liked to have had a quite area to sit in to have a coffee or a drink, as the bar & lobby were very busy & quite noisy. Especially as there were a LOT of young families there over the New Year period and the bar felt that it was just an extension of a restaurant. Breakfast was good but my only gripe was that coffee was not served by the pot, we got a cup of coffee which was cold by the time we ready for it. Also it tasted like machine coffee...... A Cafetiere would be a nice option.

Decent hotel but a bit underwhelming.
The hotel needs a bit of freshening up as there was stains on carpet etc. dinner and breakfast were very nice. What was disappointing though was that in order to use the swimming pool you need to book in advance . And you can only book for 45 minutes. The pool was booked out when we wished to use it (in fact it was almost totally booked out for the whole week). In the end we got to use the pool for 15 minutes. If you are paying for a 5 star hotel then surely you should get to use the facilities that make it 5 stars.

Wedding day made extra special
From the moment we stepped into the entrance we were greeted and shown to the checkin desk. We had mentioned to the receptionist that we were only spending the night after getting married, not 2 minutes later a glass of bubbles appeared which totally surprised us. The checkin was smooth and our room very clean, spacious and more than we expected, with a turn down service arriving. We couldnt fault the room or its amenities at all;it was perfect. Dinner at the Amber lounge was also delicious, the service was fantastic and another surprise came from a little dessert saying 'congratulations' which made the dining experience amazing. Spa facilities are also lovely and peaceful. Overall this was a wonderful venue for us and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was magical. I would not hesitate to say this is one of the best hitels ive ever stayed in.
