Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at The Oak suite thanks to the fantastic rooms with personal touches and local dining suggestions. The location was nice, although the area is starting to see more house building. The service was great, including a welcome drink and pet amenities. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the full 'restaurant menu' cooked to order was a highlight. The facilities added to the experience, with everything I needed right at hand.
I had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel! The rooms in Hornbeam, which felt like spacious loft rooms, were cozy and surrounded by beautiful landscaped quadrangles. The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming, making my business trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were perfect - lovely decor, great size, very clean, and had everything I could have wanted. The service was top-notch with a welcome drink and even pet amenities available. The location, surrounded by a golf course, provided a pleasant outdoor experience. The dining was of a very high standard, although I did encounter rancid black pudding. Overall, a great value for the money.
