We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food facilities were amazing, and the breakfast was particularly tasty. Our bed was very comfortable, ensuring we had a relaxing and restful time. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for our 1st wedding anniversary on 6th July. The staff were so friendly and professional. Our room was beautifully decorated and so peaceful. We had dinner in the lakes restaurant on the Saturday evening and the food and service was amazing. We were treated so special as it was our anniversary. The food was perfect like a top chef would make! Breakfast is a choice of a gorgeous English breakfast or salmon with scrambled eggs or a continental breakfast. Delicious! I tried both options of hot breakfasts on the two mornings we stayed there. The spa is lovely and I had a really relaxing hot stones massage and my husband a fully body massage. The only complaint I would have is that the chlorine in the pool/hot tub was stinging my eyes so I couldn't stay in it for too long. Thank you so much to the staff for their extended hospitality. Would highly recommend the hotel and would definitely come again!

Just returned from a night at this hotel and just wanted to say what a lovely hotel it is. The room was comfortable, clean and well maintained, the staff were excellent, and so professional and the food was top draw. I would recommend this to anyone.

Highly recommended oasis. Rooms are lovely and large, combining old mansion style house with contemporary. Staff in charge go out of their way to sort any issues out and dealt with quickly. The breakfasts are lovely but the dinner in the Lakes restaurant can be touch and go. The Spa is amazing, you can spend hours there easily although the chlorine is too concentrated and my eyes were blood shot after a while in the pool and jacuzzi.

Lovely hotel with helpful and friendly staff. We had a voucher for my mums birthday and the hotel surprised her with a little something after dinner.the food was very good. The spa is pleasant and clean. Breakfast was nice but the service was a little slow. We had a good time and will likely return
