We arrived in a heatwave and were given a room I didn’t feel comfortable in. The receptionist worked hard and found us a much bigger room with more windows to open. She also suppled us with an extra large fan which kept us cool at night. All the staff were extremely, friendly and efficient.

Wonderful - but family rooms need a mini fridge

Wonderful stay! Came for a long weekend with two small children. The room with an annex was perfect, everyone was very understanding of the kids needs. Perfect location - really felt magical to see the horses outside every time you step out of the property. Going to the “beach” just A few steps away was so perfect for my kids! Cons: the carpet in our room needed replacing and was badly fraying by the baseboards. The pool area needs a good updating but would be a beautiful space once renovated (which is in progress). Family rooms would really benefit from a mini-fridge.

Lovely stay. Nice ambiance. Busy due to Easter weekend with lots of lovely dogs however service was brilliant with very friendly staff. Food delicious. Room was adequate but not a great view - a wall so that was a shame - I wonder how rooms are allocated? Bathroom was fine but very small. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Our room was clean and comfortable, only issues were lack of power points near the bed (for charging phones, using laptops, etc),bed side lamps would be more convenient for comfortable lighting, and also the bed seemed to be only standard size double when most these days are king size. However I must thank the staff for their help and consideration as I became quite ill overnight on our stay, they were very patient while my wife looked after me and organised our room for another night.

Quite disappointed

Quite disappointed by this stay. The position of th hotel is lovely but the hotel itself has many issues. Extraction fan going 24 hours. Spoke to reception on 4 occasions but it was turned off over night only once. I gave up in the end as I was getting no support from staff. Superior room was poor. Bathroom not very clean Products in bathroom had no branding and looked cheap in brown containers. No idea what it was. Pillows hard No fridge No safe For the price I would expect better Only one menu although advertising 2 restaurants. Some staff good some a little disinterested. 3 billing errors in 3 transactions
