Myself and my partner loved every minute. The room was incredible. Stunning decor, clean, fresh, homely, and warm. The staff are all so accommodating, always smiling, and very welcoming. Nothing was too much. You made my partners birthday that extra bit special, so thank you. We will definitely be coming back again.

Wedding party stay at the Woodmans. A canny little place.
Pros:

I was greeted by the manager who instantly knew my name and showed me to my cosy room. Facilities in the room were good. Coffee machine and kettle with gorgeous cups. Could do with more breakfast tea.tlThere is also a fan available for those who like to sleep a little cooler. I had the breakfasts over my stay, which were very nice. The meal at the wedding was lovely too.

Cons:

The mattress in Hummingbird room seems to slope on the right hand side. Which I nearly rolled off a couple of times. A better hair dryer would be nice.

I was part of a bridal.party, and i would like to suggest a hook in the ceiling in the bridal suite to hang the dresses.

Also a towel hook in the bathroom would be great.

Beautifully designed stay with great food and greenery all around
Pros:

We stayed in the Woodpecker room and absolutely loved it. The decor was rich and elegant, with clear attention to detail that gave it a luxurious feel. The setting was lovely! Peaceful, green, and ideal for enjoying the outdoors. The on-site restaurant was also excellent, and we really enjoyed relaxing on the sunny terrace surrounded by nature.

Cons:

There was a pumping noise each time we used the water, which wasn’t ideal, especially at night.
Minor suggestion: it would be useful to have somewhere were to hang the hand towel near the sink.

Superb
Pros:

The room was very beautifully decorated and furnished. The bed was very comfortable. There were lots of complimentary refreshments available in the room

Cons:

The entrance to the Nest was a little shabby. In the room the lighting is too low both in the room and the bathroom. The brighter light in the bathroom flickered and went on and off.
There was no where to put your toothbrush etc in the bathroom except above the toilet.
Not enough hangers - 3 - in the wardrobe.

Nice stay and good location
Pros:

Pleasant in, nice staff

Cons:

A bit odd that breakfast only served between 9-10. Room suffocatingly hot and couldn’t access window to open. A membro of staff come io go help. Re breakfast very basic white and brown bread, expected something better such as wholemeal or sourdough.
