  A real hidden gem

  I recently attended a family garden party for a 50th birthday, having not stayed here before, or anywhere since lockdown had been lifted my anxiety was a little high, what can I say, I arrived and from the very first moment I was made to feel safe and at ease, the measures for sanitising and social distancing were well executed and instructions were visible and easy to follow. The receptionist was lovely, scanned my temperature and advised me of the new Covid procedures, I checked into my room, which was lovely, very clean and comfortable with good decor. The event itself was fabulous, well staffed and everyone followed distancing, bar staff and catering team were very pleasant and attentive. The grounds were beautiful, particularly the pagoda and the terrace which had been beautifully dressed for the occasion, we had a wonderful evening and felt very safe. Breakfast the next morning was beautiful, well served and extremely tasty. Again all staff were extremely attentive and helpful. This is an absolutely beautiful hotel, all needs were catered for, it was extremely Covid safe and all of the staff I encountered were well trained, well mannered and professional. This is a definite on my list of places to re-visit, its location is fabulous, just on the edge of a pretty village and a stones throw from Lakeside should I have wanted to go shopping. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Ill see you soon

  Gleaming room

  Stayed here for two nights for a family funeral. Staff were professional and the hotel had taken extensive steps to ensure guest safely in the current COVID crisis. I have to say that our room could have been the centrepiece in an Ideal Home exhibition. It was gleaming. Door handles shone. The grout in the bathroom gleamed. Ive never stated in such a well cleaned room. We hadnt initially booked breakfast based on earlier reviews but decided to have breakfast. Easy to add to the bill and the restaurant was immaculate and well organised. Food was cooked to order and very good. Waitress delivered food to central table and then you collect it from there when called. Despite the reason for travelling this was a very positive experience and we would happily return. Value for money was excellent- I paid half the price I would have for a room in a big chain hotel we often use and had a far better experience.

  Hidden Gem

  My girlfriend and I stayed here recently and found the place to be an amazing local getaway. The hotel itself is located to the rear of a spectacular old hall. Our room was lovely, with the only thing missing being teas and coffees, but I suspect this is down to Covid-19. The grounds of the hotel are stunningly kept. There is a large green to the right of the car park and main entrance, with various benches for sitting and a raised wooden platform used for weddings, bands etc. Inside the main building, as you walk past the sliding doors the reception is to your left, which carries you to the bar and if you follow a short corridor, you will see a separate building housing the hotel rooms. To the right of reception, a quaint and welcoming Library, complete with aged hardbacks (Treasure Island, anybody) has a lovely traditional fireplace, complete with sturdy leather armchairs. Idillic! Feeding off the library to the left is the reception room for the main function room. Lovely, black leather sofas and chairs are here for you to sit comfortably while waiting to be seated at your table (during happier, Covid-free times). The main hall is fabulous. The decor is perfect to serve as a backdrop for both corporate functions and those tying the knot. Truly needs to be visited by anyone looking for a function location. Finally, we opted for pizza for dinner. We certainly were not disappointed. Luckily we didn't order one each, as the Meat Feast we ordered was certainly that! Huge!! Overall, a very nice stay.

  Poor Service

  When you have been working a long day, and you get back to this hotel, dont expect to have a cup of tea or coffee ! There is no tea tray in the rooms ! The reason apparently is COVID 19 !! What has a tea tray got to with COVID ?? I rang reception, to see if there was anything they could do, and to be honest they didnt really care much, as it it company policy. I have stayed in many hotels during the current situation, but this is the 1st one that has this policy. Ended up buying a kettle and all my own tea making facilities. Also rooms are not serviced during your stay, which is more understandable, but quite rare. So if your happy with the above, go ahead and book it !

  Lovely overnight stay

  Have stayed at this hotel before but now under different Management. Had DBB offer through Hotels.com. The Dinner was beautifully presented and of good quality. Rooms are adequate size so nothing special but they are exceptionally clean. The bar area is pleasant, drinks slightly overpriced but hotel prices are never good. Breakfast was also very good. All staff attentive and personable. Would definitely stay again, hopefully longer next time as the Hotel grounds are beautiful.
