Spacious room - staff very helpful- beautiful surroundings - lovely breakfast - asked to extend room for 1 hour and no quibble. Even an electric charge point - sadly did not get to experience the spa. Will definitely stay again

We had the most wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we had a lovely room - Masefield, which had a large sitting area, a patio and a large bathroom. Will certainly return.

Brilliant service, very good stay
Fabulous service, couldn’t fault that. A few suggestions, for £27.50 pp I would expect breakfast to be cooked freshly, it was very lukewarm from the hot plates. A small point but the room key attachment being a silicon spoon made no sense or representation to the brand? The staircase carpet was quite dirty on arrival. You can see the building being a bit jaded in parts. The patio area on Tennyson was hugely uninspiringWe did have a very nice stay 4* rather than 5* which we had hoped for, sorry. Once again though the service was outstanding from reception to the spa to Milsoms.

Simply amazing. From we were greeted at reception we were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The Pool House and Spa was made extra special by the brilliant weather we had this weekend.
