Beautiful property in great location.

Check in at 4pm seems late considering the cost of the accommodation.

Customer care was great. Location is lovely and the onsite facilities are really good.

We ate in the brasserie. I think the wine was over priced but the food was ok.

"We had a wonderful, peaceful stay supported by great staff and some good food."

9.0

The staff were exceptional throughout. The property and the grounds are really peaceful and attractive.

The gym could do with a bit of an upgrade. Disappointed that the Great Western restaurant was closed and that Smiths Brasserie didn’t have a great selection of green vegetables to accompany the good food that they served up.

"Overall a very pleasant stay - our third time here after Christmas"

7.0

The property and its grounds are beautiful and our room (castle room) was spacious enough. Food at the Grill restaurant was very good - we had 3 consecutive dinners. Staff members were mostly pleasant and helpful. The heated wardrobe area was a nice touch for winter.

A few things might be outdated and needed some up-keeping or refurbished - like the blinds in our bathroom (13). The water was barely warm for the bathtub and the drainage in the shower room was very slow. There was not enough shelves nor drawers to put smaller pieces of clothing.

"Lovely setting and ambience but overall very poor value for money"

6.0

Exceptionally well decorated for Christmas, log fires and lovely ambience. Beautiful grounds, well maintained. Some of the staff were friendly and welcoming Extremely dog friendly

Breakfast one morning was poor. Buffet not topped up, no yogurt, poor fruit selection and awful table service. At £28 per person very poor value. Room was not serviced by 3PM and had to ring reception to get it done Extra charge of £60 per night for bigger room because of having two dogs (both small) on top of £50 per night charge for the dogs - total £220 for two nights Parking outside hotel was a bit of a shambles - with not nearly enough capacity
