Construction site
Pros:

Staff were very friendly& the grounds are fantastic. So much for kids to do.

Cons:

There are construction works going on behind the lodges during the day. We had to keep all curtains shut as it looked straight into our room. There was no privacy and the noise was constant. On our last night construction work began at 12.30am until 3am right outside out bedroom window with a floodlight shining in all that time. The noise was ridiculous. If we knew such extensive works were ongoing in such close proximity we would not have booked as it ruined the stay completely. I brought this to the attention of a manager on checkout but he had no major regard for how it had ruined the stay and only said to email him if we decided rebook in future.. which we will not be.

Peaceful escape
Pros:

We loved our stay and would return. The lodge is spacious and comfortable. The amenities on site are great too. We were staying to access a wedding just down the road, so it suited our group perfectly.

It was a lovely comfortable stay. Would recommend.
Pros:

Beautiful lodge with lots of space. Extremely comfortable beds.

Cons:

Nothing major but just as an FYI: when we arrived there was laundry at the door and empty glasses on the ground. We were also promised a cot but it wasn’t provided.

Excellent
Pros:

Loved the stay in the Johnston house hotel. Spent 2 hours in the spa and then had a meal in the bar. We were served by Nixon and Emma and they were so attentive and polite. They gave great recommendations and the meal we had was excellent. We would definitely come back and have already recommended it to my friends!

Amazing!!
Pros:

Myself and my family went for dinner in the bar today and I had a really great experience and just wanted to highlight the excellent service we received. Nixon and Emma were our servers, and they were both absolutely fantastic throughout. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really added to the overall atmosphere of the place.

Their professionalism and warm approach didn’t go unnoticed — they’re a real credit to the team. I’d definitely come back again!!!

Excellent place to host a family engagement dinner!
Pros:

Myself and my fiancé organised our engagement dinner here through Michelle and the service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Michelle made everything so easy for us. The food was absolutely delicious, and after the meal although the restaurant closed we were invited to sit upstairs where there was lots of space for the kids to run around safely, and they sent staff up to order drinks from. Overall a brilliant experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

Long waits
Pros:

We had an good night away just disappointing for a four star hotel. Check in was 4pm but we were told the room wasn’t ready at 4pm and that they’d ring us in half an hour, didn’t even get a sorry for this, ended up being 5pm before we got into room.
Spa was lovely and dinner was lovely with great service.
Went for breakfast at 9:30 and was faced with a queue coming out of the restaurant. We were then told to take a seat in the lobby while they got a table ready, along with everyone else in the hotel. They offered tea and coffee in the bar, but still had to wait over half an hour. When we actually got into the restaurant, there were so many empty tables, with the rest of the hotel sitting waiting in the lobby. Was a very strange experience.
