We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Very nice hotel in lovely natural sourroundings. Spacious, comfortable, stylish bedroom with large modern bathroom. Good food and friendly service. Three dining options to choose from. I would have liked to have had a quite area to sit in to have a coffee or a drink, as the bar & lobby were very busy & quite noisy. Especially as there were a LOT of young families there over the New Year period and the bar felt that it was just an extension of a restaurant. Breakfast was good but my only gripe was that coffee was not served by the pot, we got a cup of coffee which was cold by the time we ready for it. Also it tasted like machine coffee...... A Cafetiere would be a nice option.

Lovely stay, amazing staff and friendly service. Pool was booked out the of arrival which was a disappointment so make sure to book in advance! Garden is lovely. There was a movie room for kids. Breakfast was good with very quick service. Beautiful bathroom. Bed very comfortable. Children's channels would be nice to get few extra moments of peace in the morning.
