Not a luxury hotel - but a VERY comfortable place with staff who go above and beyond expectations!

8.0

breakfast hot tasty and quick to be served once ordered. Cereals and fruit with accompaniments self serve. Greeted by staff and orders for drinks and main course taken immediately after sitting down. Dinner was included in price so we had choice of three courses if required ( typically only had two). A small menu sufficient choice for a few days stay. Good portion sizes, hot, very tasty and delicious. Staff obliging as to requests for alternative veg, sauces etc. Able to sit outside ( or inside) once meal chosen to have a relaxing drink, then called in once food ready.

Room was a good size but they were unable to appoint the twin beds I requested. The room allocated does need refurbishment, although very clean. new carpet needed ( some old stains), bathroom still had corner Jacussi bath which was very slippy when having a shower ( brought my own bath mat). A grab rail would have useful to get over and into the big bath ( shower placed over bath). You would have required to stand on a chair if windows needed opening or closing ( kept open to cool room down during heat spell). Furniture also could do with upgrading although comfort requirements were met.

Lovely stay if a little hot

8.0

Friendly staff, beautiful grounds and excellent food

The room temperature was very high and the number of stairs to get to room 20. Fan was all but useless

It was a very comfortable stay with a considerate and helpful staff.

10.0

The room was very comfortable. An excellent shower and the room was on the level as I walk with a stick which makes stairs difficult so I appreciated that consideration.

There wasn't anything.
