Really good Stay!

dog-friendly environmentself-serve pantrybusy road

Everything felt well thought out. I enjoyed the self-serve pantry and the wine dispenser. There was a lovely array of breakfast options too. The hotel provided a super dog-friendly environment. I was able to completely switch off and escape my daily routine.

The hotel room overlooked the road. It was a bit busy, so next time I will ask for a room just on the river side. It disrupted the otherwise tranquil setting.

The room offered a hot shower that was AMAZING!!! Cleanliness was at a high level. The beds were really comfortable. I found the atmosphere in the communal areas to be lovely.

The room did not have robes or slips even though they were shown in pictures. The breakfast service was SLOW, and the food that was supposed to be hot was cold. The waiter just rolled his eyes and walked off to remove it.

The venue had such divine smells with candles everywhere. it was romantic. our room was immaculate, offering a serene space we never wanted to leave. the brook running at the side added an enchanting touch to our stay. It was special.

the car park had limited space. it was sometimes a little difficult to find a spot. this was only a minor inconvenience however.
