Bedroom relaxing, beautiful furniture. Well looked after. Nice ale on tap in bars and comfortable seating in bar and restaurant. Deer are in quieter part of grounds and some beautiful trees. (Hiking boots or wellingtons would be useful) A golf course all around the hotel. Lovely choice at breakfast, the hot selection well cooked. Staff are very helpful and pleasant.

Exorbitant Price Food&Drink prepared very cheaply

Room was comfortable and leisure facilities ok but dated and in need of TLC. The food was very very poor, both for dinner and breakfast and massively overpriced. £££ for fish and chips which consisted of Coley, oven chips and watery ‘shredded peas’ plus £££ for ribeye steak 10oz is a complete rip off - that equates to sixty per kilo. Hotel automatically adds on 12:5% service charge (even though I ordered at the bar) which when I questioned, refused to remove, explaining it was automatically added and couldn’t be removed, I persisted so they still made me pay it but gave me a can of Guinness for no charge in ‘compensation’ . The breakfast was meagre, cooked options available (overly greasy) and the bread available was basic sliced pan brown & white, no rolls or artisan bread selection. Pastries and muffins were awful, like the cheapest kind you get in a basic supermarket. In short it’s as CHEAP AS POSSIBLE £!@! for a 440ml can of 0% Guinness is a joke! They had draft pumps for Heineken 0% but it wasn’t working and they couldn’t use the draft charger for Guinness as it takes the larger cans and they only were stocking the 440ml variant. Whilst the bar man was pouring my 0% Guinness, the waitress (standing customer side of the bar) asked in a sarcastic and mocking way ‘who is having nil perfect beer lol’ without realising it was me standing next to her. The barman indicated sheepishly it was me and she hiccuped ‘oops I didn’t realise’ How insensitive!!!!!!

Bad experience

Hotel was ok. Very bad experience as on check in I was informed that due to staff shortages the swimming pool is closed and I was shocked as 1 days went to waste. Also pool staff did not provide towels for each day I went for swimming
