Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is set in beautiful woodland grounds with a walled garden, offering a peaceful and well-kept environment. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience was not up to par due to limited options, and the service was basic in some aspects.
The hotel offers clean and well-maintained rooms with lovely views of the lawns from multiple windows, although the bed was somewhat sagging. The service was a mix of great service from some staff members but marred by a few who were aggressive and rude. The location is set in peaceful and beautiful grounds, but the overall property might need refurbishment. The dining experience included options for vegetarians but had some drawbacks like stale bread. The hotel's facilities were adequate, although some areas required improvements.
