Beautiful hotel, gorgeous views from our room and thoroughly enjoyed eating in the restaurant whilst someone played the piano. The pool was especially tranquil, had it to ourselves the two times we used it. If everywhere had such nice changing facilities I'd swim everyday. Will definitely return.

Birthday Night Stay
We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an overnight stay and wasn’t disappointed. The service from when we arrived to check out so first class. We had a meal in the main restaurant which was fabulous, breakfast good too. I would recommend having a massage at the Spa as my husband and I both said how good it was.

This is my 4th visit. The building and lands around it are still gorgeous but the amenities seem to have gone down a little. They no longer have the steam room in the ladies changing room which is a real shame and their spa treatments are just way too expensive, so unfortunately we gave them a miss this time.

We come to this hotel quite frequently but this is the first time we booked through Expedia. Not Expedia's fault but the room we had was a tiny one with a small double bed, the TV remote didn't work properly so had to press the buttons on the TV, the shower control fell off. We have had a good experience in the past, but this time fell well below the level we have had in the past for the money we spent. The restaurant was excellent as ever, although there was one waiter who seemed very eager to please, almost un-genuine. Difficult to say, but I certainly don't expect anyone to bow to me at a hotel.

Wouldn’t go back
Booked this for my husband’s birthday and upon arrival we were so impressed at the hotel grounds and it’s a beautiful setting. We arrived and sat down for a drink. It took us a long time to find someone to serve us and we sat outside where all the tables were either dirty or had glasses left there for some time. We ordered 2 orange juices and lemonade and it came to a staggering £20.70! Just couldn’t believe it. The hotel emailed me the bill before checkout and I replied saying that amount was ridiculous for 2 soft drinks but they didn’t reply. A couple of members of staff were a little abrupt and overall sensed some disengagement. It was a shame as it was a rare weekend away but it wasn’t as I expected sadly so I wouldn’t return.

Was placed in a room that was unbelievable far from the main entrance. No lift for luggage and it had a terrible buzzing noise from a boiler that made us change rooms so we could sleep. Was placed next to a room with a crying baby at 5 AM. Spoke with the staff about our disappointment and unacceptable room allocation. They said sorry.

The hotel was absolutely stunning and the grounds were gorgeous. It felt like a real luxury place. Our room was huge (deluxe) with a gorgeous jet bath. Although the decor is very dated, it didn’t take away from the experience. The view from our room was magical. The breakfast was delicious and such good quality.

It's a shame that the owners do not keep care of this hotel. It is a beautiful park, castle and there is quite a lot one could enjoy here at the right time of the year. However, the hotel seemed very lonely during our visit. The rooms need a good cleaning. With exception of only one member we encountered in the tea room, the staff is not at all trained or polished. Unfortunately we were there at a very warm time and the hotel was not a all prepared to deal with this kind of weather. They offered us a fan that was about strong as a light whistle blowing. After further pursuing the matter, the second day we were told that there were rooms with air conditioning, in fact. This after we spent a night in a room where the temp measured 87 degrees fahrenheit. Again, a sever lack of understanding from the staff. I would Recommend a stop by from anyone in the area to see the gardens and the building itself, but find another hotel to stay and you will be much happier.
