The food was fantastic, the room was great for the money and really clean. Booking to come back next year for new year's eve and will probably book for something in the summer as the grounds are amazing

Christmas dinner was delicious. Service was good ( although seemed a tad rushed )
Stayed overnight in one of the bungalows. Room was spacious, clean and warm. Room had under floor heating, shower was amazing , bed comfortable, however the pillow slip kept coming off as the pillows seemed to have a plastic coating on them and so my face would stick to the pillow.
Breakfast.... Extremely disappointed in EVERY way. Breakfast was between 8-10, we got there at 9:20.. there wasnt anyone to show us where we was sitting.. so I found someone who told us to sit and wait for a table to be cleaned

Lovely venue and great staff. The grounds are breathtaking with the glass domes for indoor seating. We went for our work Christmas party and there was a Robbie Williams tribute act on and 3 course meal. Fantastic

Tribute night. What it said on the can!! Found my food was good, though others on my table had issues with at least one of the courses (poor service of sides, dried food etc)
Bar prices were as expected for such a place and I thought staff were well controlled and service was fine.
