Wonderful hotel in stunning location!
Pros:

Superb hotel in a stunning location. I am sure that there are similar hotels like Rhinefield House Hotel but what made it stand out was the attention for detail and the little things. For example, we could order milk and cookies for the kids that would be brought to our room at the desired time. We took our Labrador and in the room there was a soft dog bed, with 2 bowls and a bag of dog biscuits. The room was big enough with quality bedding and was very clean. We stayed in room Azalea which has a view on the forest. The bathroom has its own TV installed in the wall, and the shower is unique and very powerful. The grounds are simply stunning, the hotel has an enormous garden and its own maze, and we spotted deer in the evening. We enjoyed a lovely drink outside on the patio next to the fountain and it was just lovely. I already booked our room for October!

Cons:

We loved everything about our stay.

Very good but needs improvement.
Pros:

Fantastic location and the property and grounds were beautiful. The rooms were very comfortable and all the services there were maintained to a very good standard. Beds extremely comfortable and having 2 armchairs in the room was a real
bonus.

Cons:

Whilst the food was excellent, the breakfast was terribly disorganised and the staff couldn’t seem to cope one morning when many guests arrived together. There didn’t appear to be anyone managing the young staff. We didn’t feel enough of the basic food was put out on the buffet table and sometimes ran completely out.
The food in The Conservatory in the evening had a very limited menu and service could be quite slow at times due to only one person being on duty.
Whilst the bar/lounge was lovely, the property is in desperate need of the use of a quiet second lounge. There was another room used for functions which you could go in when free but had a cold feeling and no atmosphere. Shame this couldn’t be turned into a cosy reading room!
