We always love staying here. We stay in the ‘old house’ and we love the period features that have been retained. It feels like stepping back in time. Staying off-season means it is much quieter too. The food and service was great at dinner.

Aspects I liked:
Gorgeous, spotless, very comfortable, very spacious and well-furnished lodge (suite), tasteful, contemporary decor, with very long desk, kitchen area with table and chairs, sofa, beautiful bathroom, garden view, patio doors and garden furniture
Lovely afternoon tea, reasonably priced, in the attractively decorated Gilbert's Restaurant
Good choice of food at breakfast, the vegan option with avocado, spinach and other vegetables being both delicious and healthy, in the bar and via the room service menu, all reasonably priced.
Pleasant and helpful staff
Attractive, courful, scented flowers in pots, hanging baskets and beds
Quality and quantities of drinks in lodge and of shower gel, shampoo and body lotion
Ease of obtaining a taxi via Reception
Possibility of woodland walks
Tranquil atmosphere
Decor and furnishings/lighting in the main hotel
History of the hotel was interesting to read about
Aspects I disliked:
Very bumpy driveway leading to/from hotel - drivers worried about their vehicles' tyres and suspension being damaged
Some branches overhanging parts of driveway should probably be cut back
Better lighting at night to illuminate driveway would be appreciated

This was a quiet retreat from the city life & the hotel is set in such a peaceful location.

Disappointing stay
Posted 5 Feb 2024 on HotelsThe hotel is lovely steeped in history.
The room was adequate although the double bed was small.
The bathroom had a shower in the bath and an ingested towel rail.
Sadly the water temperature was like warm and the flow of water poor.
The pressure and temperature of water in the bathroom is not acceptable.
