Food is great, rooms are wonderful surroundings are perfect, everything seemed just as one would expect from a country estate hotel & Spa except when you discover that the spa is in fact a separate entity. I have stayed in hotel & Spas around the world including in some of the famous five star locations such as St Davids Hotel & Spa or The Celtic Manner etc and never heard of the concept of hotel guests being charged and additional fee for use of the facilities. I was absolutely gobsmacked; I am not talking about the usual extra charge for a massage or treatment, no! These people charge

Good overall. My wife had a lovely spa and I really enjoyed the off road experience. Re, bar menu, this is very limited, for example, if you want a simple sandwich, they cannot will not serve this which in most four star establishments you would expect especially when the only alternative is afternoon tea with tiny finger sandwiches- be a bit more flexible with the offerings during the day. In addition, this Hotel relies heavily on wedding parties meaning the already quite small bar area seems to get full of wedding guests making it difficult for ordinary Hotel residents to get service / seating

A great hotel in a beautiful location. View over lake is lovely. Food is very good. Rooms are very comfortable but the electric heater needed an expert to set working. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended.

Stunning location, staff are pleasant and seem happy in their work. Was here for a wedding. Service was great. Food not the greatest, but would definitely recommend this venue all the same.
