    luxurious double room
    cozy fireplaces
    serene ambiance

    do recommend for a quick weekend visit

    Beautiful room, beautiful views, with specific attention to detail in the luxurious double room I stayed in, along with the serene ambiance created by cozy fireplaces throughout the property, making it a perfect retreat to unwind after exploring the area.

    Couldn’t find a single fault.

    service inconsistency
    dining expectations

    Here’s what worked – and what didn’t

    An enchanting stay with attentive staff and a delightful breakfast showcasing stunning views. The picturesque gardens and walking paths provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation.

    Service inconsistency dampened the overall experience, particularly during meals, leaving some dining expectations unmet.

    log fires
    old railway

    The log fires create a cozy vibe, and we loved cycling along the old railway line greenway! The gardens were serene, perfect for unwinding.

    breathtaking river view
    cozy ambiance
    excellent bar menu
    high dinner prices

    Our stay here was amazing! The breathtaking river view from our room was a highlight, and the cozy ambiance from the multiple fireplaces around the hotel made it feel magical. However, I found the dinner prices a bit high for what was served, so we opted for the Bar menu instead, which was much better. I would absolutely come back again!

    stunning views
    cozy fireplaces
    quiet nooks
    cramped room

    The setting has truly stunning views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for unwinding after a long day of adventures. The common areas are exquisitely designed with cozy wood-burning fireplaces that create a welcoming atmosphere and several sitting rooms offer quiet nooks to relax in, away from the hustle.

    The room I was settled into felt a bit cramped, lacking space for luggage and toiletries, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. I also noticed that the dinner menu prices seemed a bit steep compared to the portion sizes, which guided my choice to skip dining on site altogether. Some rooms are located near gathering areas, occasionally leading to noise disturbances that might bother guests looking for tranquility.

    stunning views
    attentive staff
    steep prices
    room space
    noise disturbances

    Stunning views of the countryside created a peaceful atmosphere, and the attentive staff enhanced the experience with their warm hospitality. The cozy pub served delicious drinks, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. However, pricing at the dinner menu felt steep for the proportions offered, leading us to choose lighter dining options instead. A bit more space in the room would have been appreciated for luggage. Noise from gathering areas disrupted the tranquil vibe on occasion.
