Great spa facilities. Quiet lication to catch up with rest and also the building was not noisy in the bed areas. Loved the policy to be able to breakfast in the hotel dressing gowns or one's sports wear.The gardens made it for us. Very botanical with lots to spot and history. Great walks just beyond the gardens if you wish to walk off the calories! Dinner menu wasn't great so we ate out each night, including one at the very good Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant in the village. Breakfast was ample with choices but created a lot of guest movement to the counter area. Providing trays may help abate this, perhaps? One downside still to be resolved is the alcohol order on our tab at checkout, that we had never ordered. Otherwise would return for the spa facilities, informality and gardens in a different season.

Nice hotel and spa.
Imogen was brilliant before we arrived arranging everything to cater for my mobility issues. Check in was challenging but once we got to the room things improved. Bar was nice but has a limited food menu after 3 and no food after 6 so make sure you book for dinner. Dinner was lovely. Varied menu and excellent food. No air con in the rooms just a very loud desk fan. Had a facial which was lovely. Spa is nice but fairly small and is packed during the day when the day guests are there.

Didn’t like no storage in the bedroom. Only 6 hangers for two of us. Also the menu was too fancy for us so we couldn’t eat there as nothing plain for us and we would have loved to chill in the restaurant and bar area without having to drive out for dinner each evening. Staff were amazing as are the grounds.
