March 2025We stayed here this weekend as a 2 friends needing some relaxation time and our stay here absolutely delivered! We were greeted warmly by Kelly on arrival and she kindly allowed us to check into our rooms early as our room was ready. Mike, the General Manager was passing as we arrived and welcomed us to the hotel and then personally showed us to our room. This extra touch was so appreciated. Our room was spotless, welcoming and spacious. It also opened out until fields which was a lovely view. We then ventured to the spa which was our favourite part of our stay. The spa is again spotless and well maintained. Our treatment was so relaxing, we both nearly fell asleep! Our therapists were professional and friendly. The spa area has everything you would need from sauna, to hydro pool and jacuzzi. A real treat. We went to dinner in the Lakes restaurant at the hotel. The food was excellent, clearly of great quality. The house wine was very good too! The decor is traditional but well maintained and it is apparent that the staff really care about their hotel. As an events organiser who visits hotels around the world on a regular basis, I was so impressed with this hotel and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

February 2025Lovely two night stay with our dog . Enjoyed a lovely meal in the snug by the fire..this was lit and ready for us each day st breakfast also. Feel like we were spoilt it really was wonderful and can't wait to return one day. The spa was amazing and I had a very nice relaxing aromatherapy facial.. thoroughly enjoyable from the minute we arrived and great customer service by all the staff. The Asbhy Suite was perfect and definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you for such a lovely 2 night birthday treat.

March 2025Depending on what shift is in depends on the service. Unfortunately I can't recall the gentleman who looked after our table but he took care of all of us. He went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was great

December 2024My friend and I did the spa day on a Saturday here. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the aromatherapy facial was amazing, and the 2 course lunch also really good quality food (recommend the chicken salad and the ice cream). The spa was really fancy but smaller than I had thought, as it is all in one big room, a big pool and a jacuzzi and a very mini steam room and sauna, though it all looks really beautiful. Also there are only 3 loungers for the whole area which aren't that comfy and otherwise some hard backed chairs quite close to the pool. You get a robe and slippers and towel to spend the day in. I would go again especially for the treatments and food.
