Staff very friendly. Everything clean and comfortable. Spa lovely even in February as outside hydro pool at 36°.

Paula, United Kingdom

Spa facilities world class Food excellent and service all world class. A real jewel.

Jeffrey, United States of America

The staff was excellent and "unstuffy," considering the caliber of hotel. It was total relaxation from the beginning--extremely comfortable bed, lovely toiletries, and beautiful gardens to walk around. The food was wonderful, both at breakfast and for dinner (their vincigrassi entree is fantastic). We enjoyed time at the spa as well, and appreciated that use of the spa facilities was included in the price of the room.

Staff where brilliant. So friendly, passionate about food and drink and really knowledgable. This truly was a 5* experience. So many little details made it special. Can’t recommend this place enough

Salvatore, United Kingdom

We thought the staff were so friendly but not in a full on way. It seemed they were all just genuinely nice people who were happy to help. Everything was made so easy and really allowed us to relax. The actual hotel was beautiful and the surroundings were like something from a film!

Only minus was the breakfast, We ordered the full english which wasn't great. Overcooked bacon and mushrooms and the portion size was very small ( and we don't have big appetites). The rest of the breakfast was lovely.
Room and grounds were absolutely beautiful. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Bed was particularly comfortable.

Everything absolutely wonderful, the staff are so efficient and friendly I believe we were upgraded to room no 6 as it was the biggest room we have stayed in, the beams and the view we're amazing and bed so comfortable. The breakfast was fabulous just sorry we didn't have time to walk the gardens as we had to return straight home because of a family emergency. Simon
