Elevated, relaxing, lovely location
Pros:

The location was amazing, for the money the place felt so elevated and lovely. Breakfast was great, you get one hot meal and then can go to the cold buffet bar.

Cons:

Don’t have any complaints! Staff were great 😊

An escape from life couples retreat
Pros:

From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly lady on reception. Our room was stunning and the huge bed was so comfortable.
Wide range of drinks in the room and some biscuits.
We had dinner in the restaurant 'Oscars' and the food was exceptional.
The waiting staff were brilliant and efficient and the young man (sorry I didn't get his name but wore a blue waistcoat) asked if we would like to watch the England game and if so, he would put it on in the Grand Hall for us.
Nothing was too much trouble for himself or any of the other staff.
Breakfast was lovely, with a great selection of items included in the room price.
The grounds are spectacular and the whole place is our little sanctuary when we need to just relax and unwind for the night. I highly recommend this place.

Cons:

Nothing at all negative to say.

Stayed twice, looking for a 3rd!
Pros:

Little touches like the birthday card added and an upgrade to the suite.

We were informed there was going to be loud music until midnight of the day we stayed. We had the option to cancel but we didn't mind. The music was to our taste anyways 😀.

Staff were always on hand and any concerns or questions were answered quickly (when contacted online).

Cons:

There wasn't anything to not like.

Great location
Pros:

Lovely hotel and grounds. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Breakfast was nice with lots of choice, including a good variety of fresh fruit.

Cons:

No real coffees included with breakfast. The room was very nice, but the TV was at the foot of the bed, making it difficult to sit and watch from the side.
