    The junior suites provide a spacious escape, featuring lovely bathrooms and comfy, oversized beds. The dining experience stands out. dinner offers expertly cooked lamb and grouse while breakfast keeps you fueled for the day.

    Check-in can feel slow. there might be a wait before someone appears at reception. the bar’s evening hours can be lacking, occasionally leaving it unattended with no drinks available. Some rooms might feel a bit small or lack certain amenities like a bathtub, which could be a letdown for those expecting more luxury.

    excellent breakfast
    lovely garden
    missing washcloths

    The restaurant served up a fantastic breakfast and the lovely garden was a perfect spot to unwind with a drink. The bar area was great for chilling out in the evenings too. A small thing to note was the lack of washcloths in the room, but it didn't ruin my stay—definitely try the shortbread! 😊

    tower room
    stunning gardens

    Our family enjoyed the stunning gardens and the unique tower room. A lovely touch was the hot water bottle in the bed at night!

    Felt relaxed, no reason to complain.

    friendly staff
    spacious room
    neglected grounds
    limited menu options

    check in was easy and the staff were really friendly. our standard double room was spacious and had a comfy king size bed. breakfast was really good too, lots of options and properly tasty. had a nice time in the gardens even though they were a bit messy. the hotel has a lovely classic vibe, which made our stay feel special.

    a couple of stairs to climb which might be tough for some. The grounds felt a bit neglected. didn't find the evening menu too appealing, not enough simple options for ppl like me.
