We celebrated our wedding here back in October and haven't stopped talking about this venue and the staff since. It's true what they say, a venue really does make or break a wedding. From the first email to the next day when we was checking out we was treated with care and respect and nothing was too much trouble . Louise helped us throughout our whole wedding planning, answering questions at god knows what time and putting us at ease throughout the whole of Lockdown. The venue is stunning, and since the recent renovation the reception room was perfect for our day. Throughout our day we was

A little disappointed with lack of signs for spa. Had to leave hotel in the cold air to access spa. Also difficult getting to the pool area, disability. There was a lift going down, but going up to pool area, steps which might be suitable for all. Rooms/staff/cleanliness /food amazing. Also suggest refundable 10. 00 for robe, slippers, towel.??

Attended a wedding. Lovely setting. Friendly helpful staff. Food was nice. Rim was slightly on the small side but fine for an overnight stay. Quiet and comfortable.

Stayed for a short spa break. Nice spacious room. Spa facilities included spa rooms, sauna, pool and gym, which were all well maintained. If you have a meal included at the fat Abbott pub then the 30 allowance is for food and not drinks

Would give 100 stars for the service food and hotel. As I am coeliac always worry when going away for food. First time in a long time I have actually relaxed being away. They couldn't be more helpful and had a great big selection on the menu for me to eat. Breakfast also specially built and it was more than eggs on toast. A very happy relaxed customer. Would stay again.
