Pretty but dangerous
In general, this hotel is fine - comfortable and in a nice spot next to one of the Frensham ponds. However, my wife tried to walk down the disabled ramp the first morning of our stay. The ramp was covered in moss, with a leaky gutter above keeping it wet all day. It was like an ice rink. She slipped and almost broke her hip. I tried to help her and nearly fell myself. This is despite both of us wearing hiking boots with excellent grip. If you use the stairs, there is no issue as there was no moss on those. But ramp users either are disabled or are likely to become disabled. We registered the accident and it was recorded in the accident register. I expected some communication afterwards, but nothing happened. We checked out the next day and still nothing. Before we left, I decided to try the disabled ramp again to see if the moss had been cleaned - it had not, as you can see on the photo and I nearly slipped again despite being very cautious. So there you go: this is actually a nice hotel, but with the staff not fixing safety issues even after they have been pointed out, I am not sure I can recommend it at the moment. If they fix the issue and apologise properly, I might change my mind - I would have to check with the wife first though, as she is still in pain from the fall.

Lovely setting
Lovely setting but despite the hotel seeming fairly empty we were allocated a room with a view of the road. We were only there a night. Very comfy bed. Plenty of parking. Parking signs outside don’t state that hotel guests don’t have to pay. Hotel seemed a bit short of service at breakfast.

When I arrived I tried to pay for parking but couldn't, so I asked at reception about parking the member of staff wasn't very responsive. I came away not knowing if I had to pay for parking or not. Another guest had to tell me that I didn't need to pay for parking. Breakfast: I had paid £19 for my breakfast and on the menu it was £16+ for full english and £3.50 for other item. So I asked if I could have pancakes, the waitor said could only have if I paid another £3.50. I said this was much less food than the full enlish and what I paid. he came back saying that the manager had said the same. I then went for the full english. When he brought it it was cold and he took it back. He then brought out another plate and the food on that was cold too. I gave up and didn't bother to ask again. When I checked out the man at the desk wasn't interested and didn't respond when I told him what had happened. Even when I said that they may get not to good a review. He still never responded. What a shame because the hotel was in such an amazing spot and the room was so comfortable.

Average stay
Service at the hotel was good however the hotel is looking a bit tired. Noticed a few things needed touch ups for example where you scanned the key on the door was broken and just a hole, the wardrobe was falling apart. The WiFi at the hotel didn’t reach our room and due to the location you don’t get signal either. This was raised with reception during our stay. The shower was a bad design, it was great because it was powerful but meant that water would shoot past the glass panel and the floor was a pool. Which was dangerous given the shiny floor. Dinner in the restaurant was lovely however it didn’t have much of a restaurant feel. There was only 1 member of staff on who was juggling the bar also. With another member of staff who popped by to help. So it felt like you were just dining in a random room rather than a restaurant. We didn’t use the spa as this was an additional cost and from what you could access didn’t feel worth the money which is a shame as we tend to book a hotel with a spa to use it.

Extremely helpful reception and restaurant staff - with the exception of a dessert serving blip. I asked for a room with wheelchair access and got exactly that: parking immediately adjacent to the ground floor room with a wet room. Very easy. A good overnight stay.

I booked one room and I had my brother came to see me. It was going to get late at night to I told him to stay with us . When I checked in I asked front desk if I can have room with sofa and she told me that I we don't have room with sofa in hotel. I end up book him room for two days, When I were checking out I went to his room and saw he had sofa. I don' complain about anything, but I feel they tricked me to book 2nd room which I didn't want to. You can see I booked extra room on day I checked in. Kindly let me if you can give me refund for that room as they should have honest about it. I hope you can help. Thank you.

Second time to this hotel and the staff are very friendly and welcoming, excellent customer service from Vidan who could not do enough for you, we were surprised to get an upgrade to a suite, our room was clean, bright, modern & all the facilities you need in a room. Great choice of food for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Used the spa facilities for a fee & great choice of treatments with Elemis products. Lovely outside grounds where you can eat, drink & enjoy the view of the Frensham pond.
