Lovely , relaxing hotel with excellent staff.
Super ambience.
Very good and plentiful breakfast.
One minor thing - a close up mirror in the bathroom would have been of benefit for make up/contact lenses!!!

The room wasn’t up to a good standard. But the breakfast made up for it, one of the breakfast staff was amazing and very helpful.
Would definitely go again for the breakfast wendy one of the breakfast staff, she was amazing. Would like to thank her for just being herself.
Thanks Josh
A sudden downpour revealed a leak in the skylight, but staff were efficient and friendly in finding us a replacement room asap, plus a partial refund. Rooms were comfortable and well-equipped
Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. Very good breakfast. Very spacious and confortable room but limited lighting and no hangers in wardrobe. Limited storage space, just one small drawer. Very good bathroom, well lit, spacious excellent cleanliness.

Well done!!
Very well situated property with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The Elm house with only 15 units was perfect for a cozy but well-amenitized stay. Warm decor and great staff.
Room was very clean. Decent size and bed comfortable.
Breakfast was plentiful and Wendy especially was so friendly and helpful. Made sure we had enough to eat.
The only downside was the coffee machine. Only 1 for everyone. Had to queue and then it ran out of water/ milk. Need at least 2 machines

Staff were exceptional, especially Malcolm on the front desk. We were a little underwhelmed by our premium price room (in the annex) however, especially as this was booked to celebrate our 20th Anniversary.
It didn’t look like the room in the photos and was a little strangely laid out - all nice and clean however.
We ate in the on-site restaurant which was fab, breakfast was a buffet which was just OK and rather over-priced
