Liked: Room comfort
Nice-ish stay
Stunning from the outside, however the room needed some tlc (not sure if perhaps our room is used as a pet friendly room which might explain that). Bathroom was really nice, recently refurbished. Out room was situated above some outside seating and other guests were fairly noisy outside until gone 11pm which wasn't great. Food was generally good, had one issue with an item, but no apology and seemed to be an effort to get the item removed from the bill. Fire alarm also went off at 6:50am. Unlikely we would stay again.

In a beautiful setting
Restaurant service, quality and quantity very good, but had issue with the Hotel's 3 course dinner offer. Obviously the Chef was not in agreement with the offer and it took ages to serve, otherwise the food was lovely. Room very comfortable, but if you are disabled in any way, there is no lift.

Absolutely awful, disturbed repeatedly by others.
Initial thoughts were that the hotel looked lovely. Went downhill a tad when we had to hunt for the waiter to place our dinner order, food was mediocre. Room comfortable. Having been up since 5am, we were crashed by 9.30pm, only to be woken at 11.23pm by lots of people outside our room, talking very loudly. I went to politely ask them to be quiet, to be greeted by about ten people all standing in the room opposite with a camera man. I called down to Reception for support, but dialling 0 as per their brochure didn't get a response so I used my mobile to call the main hotel number. The gentleman said he would speak to the guests. I went back to bed, but was again disturbed at 12.15am by loud voices and electronic beeping. I opened my door & was again greeted by a large group of people standing in the room opposite. I called the night porter and was told that 'they'll be finished filming at 12.30'... seriously??? I barely got any sleep after that as I was so angry. It transpires that it was a paranormal event where people can book 'haunted rooms'. Obviousky the room opposite ours was one of the haunted rooms! I spoke to the lady in the desk in the morning and explained our dissatisfaction with the situation, to be told that 'they're normally quiet'. Totally unacceptable. Would not ever recommend this hotel and I will be contacting the Manager directly.

Friendly Place!
Room a little old fashioned (bathroom had been refurbed though), mattress awful (really bad). Location, grounds, view and staff amazing. Didn't get any GPS close by so was a little frustrating to find initially. Drive up to hotel is full of potholes which probably belongs to a neigbouring property, however it is pretty bad and some are very deep, could be damaging.

A restful stay
First impressions was that check in was a little slow, ringing the phone at reception didn’t work so I found the bar where there was a member of staff. Food was excellent both breakfast and supper and service staff were attentive and efficient. Generous smoked salmon with scrambled egg. Bed was very comfortable, rooms warm, decor a little tired and bathroom needing a small amount of DIY. Seeing to the base of the bath. Walks are terribly thin, some guests are incredibly selfish when it comes to noise levels. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back. Thankyou a much needed break.

Really nice hotel, rooms were a great size and tea , coffee provided. A bit tricky to find the place but it's well worth it when you arrive. Staff were really good both reception and waiter/bar person could not have been more polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again if I'm in the area

Clean rooms, friendly staff, good food. Only criticism is water pressure is remarkably bad so the shower is poor and it takes an age just to run a bath.
