My son and daughter in law got married here last Thursday. The setting is a beautiful combination of forest and manicured gardens. We stayed in the coach house rooms. The rooms had lovely beds with heavy smooth sheets and fluffy pillows. My room had a bathroom with shower and a big gorgeous bathtub. It also had plenty of space with a little living room, fireplace, refrigerator, and private outdoor...

Excellent hotel in lovely grounds. Very quiet (we had a room in the loft!). Very friendly welcome and very good food (we had bar snacks, breakfast and lunch). Nice terrace at the front of the hotel for dining in good weather.

The hotel is in the middle of a massive ground, with tr...

The room we received was nothing like the photos shown during booking. It felt like we were staying in a cramped space similar to Harry Potter’s cupboard under the stairs. Despite the promise of a balcony or scenic view, our room had neither. Instead, it overlooked the entrance area, where people constantly gathered and loudly discussed their business. This was far from the serene view we expected...

Lets start with the staff: very friendly, helpfull and they make it worth your while. The hotel looks good, clean and well maintained. The rooms have different looks but all look good in their own style. The only disappointing thing in this hotel are the beds. They are way to soft. I’m tall (close to 2m) an weigh about 95kg and the beds do not offer enough support for me. This results in backpain ...
