Wonderful

The hotel was lovely, the glasshouse is very nice with good cocktails and snacks.
Had the best massage ever with a Thai lady called Joe.
Hotel could do with modernising in the hall ways but apart from that stunning.
We will return in the summer with the children next time.
Great service, very nice grounds. A bit big and far from other things, but the rooms are very comfortable and it's perfect for a short staycation away from London
A great room and beautiful grounds all well maintained. Super attentive staff everywhere. The buffet breakfast was excellent with very good choice. The evening dinner wasn't really our scene. The buffet offered an excellent choice of foods but was not personal and quite cramped. Our room bathroom had no rails for towels and only two hooks (for the robes). We had to leave our towels and face cloths on the roll-top bath but these were taken by the turn-down maid and not replaced; not good when you find out late at night. The site grounds/roads need improved signage for cars.
It’s a lovely hotel and grounds, beautiful walking trails, and service - staff are genuinely helpful and friendly. My only disappointment was this was booked for my birthday which the hotel was aware of, but there was no birthday surprise in the room upon arrival, no happy birthday at check in mentioned, and this was just a bit of a downer. Check in was also delayed as the room wasn’t ready till after 3pm which you don’t expect for a 5 star at this price!
This place is one of a kind. Never stayed in a resort where staff is so welcoming and helpful. Food choice was amazing especially for a vegan were many places dont accommodate it.
From the parking to the checkout - all was spectacular. My first time at this hotel and i will definitely come again.
Lovely hotel but room prices gave us higher expectations than were met. Whilst we were very fortunate to be upgraded from a standard room to deluxe, it still fell short. Our cold tap wouldn’t run, weak toilet flush, we had very basic mini bar and the hallways to the bedrooms were very dated and didn’t smell particularly fresh. Great all round hotel with amazing amenities but it could do with modernising the rooms. Tv was old fashioned (but did have Netflix), and balcony was very small with two very basic chairs.
