A treat! Really relaxing and enjoyable!

Wonderful place with peace and quiet! Lovely atmosphere, good food, nice staff.

Disappointed
Pros:

The place was magnificent.
We also had dinner. The food was excellent.
We had booked two rooms. It was quite expensive but seemed good value for our money

Cons:

After we left we had a phone call telling us that a shampoo and a soap bottle were missing and that we had to pay for them. We did not take them. They were probably missing when we arrived but that is the policy of the establishment to accuse your guests of stealing soap! Found that quite petty and was clearly disappointed because our stay was very good.

A comfortable stay in a great location but with a disappointing evening meal.
Pros:

The location and the ambience of the hotel.

Cons:

We were disappointed in the standard of cooking, as we'd been expecting higher quality, closer to Miachelin starred.

Lovely spot but unprepared for a heat wave.
Pros:

Beautiful setting and garden and delicious restaurant!

Cons:

We were there in a heat wave and rooms were very hot and poorly ventilated. Fan was too weak to help generate cross ventilation. Rooms did cool off by later evening. Though likely costly, hotel might consider portable room air conditioning units that vent through a window. Another inn we stayed in during the heat wave did this and rooms were sufficiently cooled and pleasant.

A very peaceful and lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

The setting was lovely and peaceful. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The hotel was very good. The only criticism I would have is that better signage from the road indicating the turn off would be helpful as the current sign is just too small.

Stunning location
Pros:

Stunning location, clean well appointed bedroom, very large bed, lovely small private balcony, very tasty breakfast. Friendly staff. Lovely restaurant space with great views.

Cons:

Dissappointing evening meal. Possibly a bit of style over substance. Plating attractive but some items very salty and others really dry and unappetising. The brioche and butters was delicious. Maybe they just had a bad night!

A wonderful break in beautiful surroundings
Pros:

We had a beautiful large room overlooking the fields and the valley. We had a lovely terrace where we sat and watched the wildlife and sat out and enjoyed the sunshine. The food was excellent and all the staff were very attentive.

Cons:

There was nothing we did not like about our stay. We will certainly return if we are that way again.
