Guest Reviews:
- "Beautiful building and decor!" - "The standard was first class" - "Breakfast room service was lovely - I had the truffle caviar eggs which were incredible. Despite being on the ground floor next to the outdoor bar and music, it closed at a reasonable time and then was very quiet and cosy. Loved the double shower and bath. Reception staff were so welcoming." - "Lovely rooms and quality furnishings" - "Great location and very tasteful" - "Our room/suite was amazing. Probably one of the best hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. The current decor was amazing and so well thought out. I'm an Interior Designer and really appreciate their attention to detail. I would highly recommend this property."

- "The most magical stay in the heart of the country. Our room was incredibly done up, the most divine details and care have been put into the facilities. A massive shout out to the staff who made us feel at home. We will be back!" - "Beautiful , very stylish and comfortable. Lovely warm and cosy little bar to have drinks. We got a family vibe from this Hotel, very welcoming staff. One of the best freshly cooked breakfasts we have ever had. I am a very fussy traveller unfortunately and normally have to move rooms or have something to complain about but on this occasion absolutely nothing at all to complain about."

- "Absolutely stunning house, rooms, spa and grounds. Decor really cool and worked well- modern twist on old house. Food was amazing - we had the sharing Cote de Boeuf- and we enjoyed having a low key burger and cocktails in the bar the second night. The spa was bliss- beautiful swimming pools, steam room, gym, and treatments were excellent. Our room was spacious, beautiful, bed extremely comfortable, and well stocked with goodies. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We had the best time."

- "It was great" - "what a place for the money you pay! cheaper than a premier inn and yet you feel like you're in a four star hotel! The food is fantastic, the staff are fantastic, the service is fantastic. and the bed is more comfortable than the one at home. I'm never staying anywhere else when i'm visiting family. This is now my new home away from home." - "Really clean; beautiful area; close to great walks" - "Very helpful, friendly staff; beautiful room and comfortable public areas. Location very good"
