Absolutely amazing hotel. From arrival to departure the experience is exceptional. Such a relaxing time spent over a couple of days. Staff are friendly, professional and efficient without being intrusive. Rooms, food and service impeccable. The courtesy tour in a Bentley is an added bonus. There is a selection of comfortable areas to relax within the hotel community areas as well as a charming little pub worth a visit within the site.

As always , the hotel is wonderful. The only downside I found is the little extra's or no longer available (for example - Toiletries are no longer given in the rooms). These little extra made the whole stay more special.

Staff were very good if anything was wrong. It is in a perfect location and double rooms are a good size. More toiletries, larger TVs and making sure there are decaf drink options in every room - neither of the rooms I had were given decaf teabags would have upgraded scores to excellent.
