Highly recommended!
Lovely old, characterful hotel with a spa and fitness centre. Room was lovely and spacious and bed was really comfy. Bathroom had both a tub and a shower and was very clean - as expected. Food in the restaurant was delicious and there was plenty of choice for breakfast.

Perfect stay
We had a wonderful stay, from the moment we walked in we were greeted & made most welcome by a gentleman, he offered to help with our luggage & also showed us to our room which was lovely & spotless. Everything about this hotel is 5 stars. The staff are a credit to the hotel, they are so welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, this without a doubt adds to the enjoyment to our stay. The food in the hotels Lakeside restaurant is superb. We cannot wait to return. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Long weekend stay
Enjoyed the hotels location and it was clean and tidy throughout. I wouldnt rate it as highly as other venues i have stayed at because it lacked some of the elements of a luxury hotel such as some of the staff seemed less helpful than others and the older side of the hotel could do with some tlc in places. A touch overpriced in my view but overall ok.

Great little hotel. Friendly staff, great food and amenities. Room was spacious and clean. The only gripe we have is the farm smell that we couldn't seem to get to grips with.

Enjoyable stay
We booked this hotel as it has a lift and my wife has trouble with stairs. Unfortunately our room was in part of the hotel that didn’t have a lift. We should have asked for a different room but we didn’t and that was our fault. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and looked after us well. The food was well cooked and extremely tasty. The spa was very nice. The room we were in could have done with a clean around the windows where there were quite a few cobwebs and dead flies. The pillows weren’t very comfortable. They could do with replacing. Our stay overall was very enjoyable and we would go back.

We stayed here as our first night off as mum and dad so was hoping for a good nights sleep. Was firstly disappointed with the greeting we received. We were not shown to our room just told where to go in this massive house we had never been in before !! The room was dark smelled dusty. Was woken up at 4am by stairs creaking and banging above and around us was so loud It kept us up from 4-8am I ended up going to reception at 8am nearly in tears because I was soo tired ! We spoke to another couple who also said there was a dog barking above them constantly from 9pm onwards the same night (we went for a meal so misses the barking luckily !) The staff were absolutely usless with helping me no manager came to deal with the matter I was just told either Icould have a £50 refund or complain !? Absolutely terrible standards especially running somewhere like this you would think guests would be made to feel like there staying in a 4 star and not a 2 star. Especially the money we paid for the room. Never coming back here and we will be telling our wide knit family and friends community about this place !

SUPER PLACE TO STAY
We stayed in the Ashby Suite which was spacious and beautiful. The only criticism I could make is the sofa bed wasn’t particularly comfortable. All mod cons in the kitchen and a lovely seating area. Bathroom was spacious and modern. Spa facilities were fine and the staff were all friendly and attentive

A little bit warm
My only complaint would be my room was very warm even though it has air-conditioning it can only be turned down to 20. That’s the highest I have the heating on in my house and the thermometer was saying my room was 26° even with the Aircon on.
