Loxley house home away from home
We traveled as a family and my only mistake was to book one room, we should have requested two. The WiFi is not great, so make sure you have data. The staff went above and beyond and even prepared a special dinner for my boys which was amazing. We enjoyed our stay.

Home from home
We were welcomed like royalty not only by the friendly staff but also by the dogs. The gardens are so beautifully manicured and the azaleas amazing. Loved the quirkey "golden swan" on the pool. Just a pity we could only stay one night. Would love to have stayed longer. Rooms beautiful and clean with lovely view over the garden.

Room was a bit disappointing. Shower not nice to use. Tv very old and noisy. No wifi. Wedding there took preference over us being guests there. Had heard such nice things about loxley house but left feeling rather let down.
