Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were tidy and well-equipped but didn't match the website's images. The service was friendly overall but lacked consistency in special offers. The location was stunning with minor overcrowding issues in the afternoon. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good choices but some disappointing dishes. There was attention needed in the reception and outdoor sitting areas.
The hotel offers warm rooms, drinks, and cakes at a good price. The views of the front drive and the lake are lovely. However, service had some issues despite being marketed as fine dining.
I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel. The room had a tall fan and a cooler unit which made up sufficiently for the lack of air conditioning. The service was great, especially sitting in the Great Hall by the open fire, but the explanation for menu options could have been clearer. The location was fantastic, offering beautiful surroundings into the grounds. The dining experience was overall fantastic with a lovely cooked offering, although the cooked breakfast was a bit fatty. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay enjoyable.
