Good quiet place to rest and relax. Only minus are the beds, not comfortable at all! They could do with a mattress topper! Other than that, I give a 5 star for everything else.

We stayed in a duplex room, with a comfy lounge and toilet downstairs, and a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Lovely touches including coffee machine and tea making facilities, lovely biscuits, water daily and turn down service. Some of the furniture could do with upgrading (wardrobes) and bathroom could do with updating. Breakfast was lovely but service slow. However overall lovely stay and would return.

Seventh visit and always a great experience. Staff were excellent in re-rooming us when the initial room wasn’t getting adequate light. Some modernization still required with some low level work being done on installing solar panels, so will be great to see the finished article once complete. Will certainly be back once again.

Beautiful room and surrounding gardens. Needs some investment and training in high end customer service. This is a lovely hotel , just has lost some of its sparkle.

Beautiful location
The location is spectacular and the manor house restaurant area and gardens are beautiful. The staff are very friendly but the service at breakfast was slow and unpredictable. The food was good, but you would wait for someone to just take your drinks order. The food also takes quite some time so make sure you are taking a leisurely breakfast.

The Grande experience
We enjoyed our stay at Grande Roche just a few tips, rooms were a bit lacking probably needs a refurbishment, towels were in need of replacement, single bed charge should probably be disclosed upfront and not at check out, we also felt that the extra charge for single beds was rather heavy, restaurant service was not up to standard, food took long and waiters were not well trained and we struggled to get towels at the pool when we went for a swim.

A magnificent midweek break.
We had a grand stay at a Grande Olde Lady. The staff were excellent, friendly and well trained. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was top notch and the restaurant were happy to accommodate special requests. Great attention to detail in every way. Well worth the visit and we shall certainly return.

Beautiful settings, enchanting grounds, cordial staff, serene for a weekend getaway. Our room was clean, big enough - sitting room, bedroom, double sink bathroom - and quite private lodging. Loved it. Sporadic power outages are okay. Thank you!
