What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Came for an overnight hotel stay/spa day with my boyfriend and we were both so impressed! Our room was so lovely, the staff/service from all departments were amazing - everyone was so professional and attentive!!! A real credit to the hotel. The food was lovely and so was the spa. We went on a Tuesday-Wednesday and the spa was empty! Had the whole place to ourselves which was so peaceful. Lauren gave us a warm welcome and explained everything perfectly - she was very helpful :) We will definitely be back!”
“This venue is very nice, boasting a plush and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for an exceptional meal. The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious and stands out as one of the best I have ever experienced. Between the high-quality food and the beautiful surroundings, it is definitely worth a visit.”
