Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exudes a charming ambiance with oak-paneled rooms fragrant with wood fires. The delightful rooms offer a luxurious stay with sumptuous furnishings, a mini-bar, and a spacious four-poster bed, all complemented by huge garden-facing windows and exquisite decor. The service is attentive, professional, and friendly, making the overall experience truly pleasurable. The location, designed by William Robinson, offers a unique blend of natural forestry and botanical beauty, creating a serene and picturesque setting, ideal for a special occasion or a leisurely visit. The dining experience serves up a wonderful breakfast cooked to order with a good selection, rivaling any in the past decade. The facilities are well-appointed, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms are cozy with beautiful arts and craft paneling from 1906, offering a warm and homey atmosphere. The stunning gardens and the newly-built glass box restaurant add to the charm of this place. However, pricing may be on the higher side for some travelers.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with garden views, sumptuous furnishings, and a big comfortable four-poster bed. The dinner was fabulous, very inventive, and impeccably presented. However, the breakfast options were not up to par. The service was sharp, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, with exceptional attentiveness. The location is wonderful, surrounded by history, beautiful villages, and good pubs. The dining experience was exquisite but featured small portions. Facilities are well-maintained and offer a lovely atmosphere.
