"Very nice and staff extremely pleasant"

8.0

Very beautiful estate.

We booked because it was ‘dog friendly’ but wasn’t as dog friendly as we expected. Completely understand dogs not being allowed in certain areas, but then we wasn’t able to enjoy some of great services like the restaurant. We wasn’t able to get room service from that menu.

"Great lodges, especially for families, golfers and those with pets!"

7.0

Lodges are brilliant. For our family, with dogs, they are perfect. I love that you have the hotel facilities of you need them but have the independence of a lodge.

Restaurants have great service but food is underwhelming.

"The friendly staff and beautiful castle are lovely, but the food is a bit lacking."

6.0

Staff were so friendly. Especially Scott from the restaurant, Tyler and waiter and the masseuse Daisy. They were all so amazing and made us felt welcome like at home.

The food at both restaurants leaned more towards presentation than flavour, particularly at Smith. My husband’s steak was unfortunately let down by a peppercorn sauce that had an overpowering chemical smell — so strong it was noticeable from across the table. When we raised this with the manager that evening, he didn’t share our concern, though the sauce was replaced. With much of the steak already inedible by that point, it was a disappointing experience. That said, our bill came in noticeably lower than expected — we believe the steak may have been quietly removed, which was a thoughtful gesture. Our waiter at Smith was genuinely warm and attentive throughout, and that friendliness didn’t go unnoticed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
