Lovely property and good location for exploring nearby towns, but out of the way in countryside. Great rooms and affordable. Food was ok. Bar and service lacked some finesse for a hotel of this calibre, with cocktails as a dreadful ready mix and staff rather uncoordinated. Wedding overtook communal areas but wasnt warned as a guest. Facilities were very good. Enjoyed pool and gym. Book early for spa as we missed out foolishly.....games room for kids and games available to use Would definately return.

Lovely building. Great halfway stop from the south to the Midlands, as close to motorway. Plenty of parking. Spotless room with lovely view of the grounds

The front desk staff were fantastic, check in was floor less. Only problem I had was no heat in my room , when down front desk they couldn’t have been more helpful, it only took about 5-10 minutes to sort. Cannot fault any of the staff. I would stay again happily and recommend it.

Staff helpful Hotel very tired, not clean, old rooms, lots of dust around the edges in room, pool area and changing rooms were disgusting, hair all over floor not kept clean. Buffet Breakfast was fine. Nothing special

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to read you found the rooms were tired and old. We have different categories which I understand you were moved rooms so maybe this was the reason. I have passed on your feedback to the team and let the kitchen team know you enjoyed the breakfast. Best Wishes

Shame about the room

Posted 18 Feb 2024 on Hotels
When we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist did an excellent job of a bad situation. Our Superior King room that was picked to accommodate our family of 4 had no hot water and the only option was 2 adjoining rooms. However, these were dated, with marked linen and no longer in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Which was a shame, so the sales pitch of "2 rooms at no additional cost" aggrieved me a little. Apart from that the rest of the hotel was very good. Excellent breakfast and dining facilities and my children enjoyed the pool.
