Consistently praised across reviews: 'lovely clean room', 'cleaned to a very high standard', 'super clean' — cleanliness is a clear strength.
Service
8.8
Multiple mentions of friendly, helpful and efficient staff and a particularly helpful receptionist; service is a strong positive overall.
Location
7.8
Stunning setting and grounds frequently praised, with superb views — however several guests reported poor signage and difficulty finding the property, which reduces the score slightly.
Room Quality

Rooms described as beautiful, spacious in some cases and very comfortable beds; some negatives (small bathrooms for certain rooms, rooms reported as too hot) temper the score.

Good on practical amenities: laundry room, free parking, EV charging, access to sports centre noted. Some logistical issues (breakfast in separate building) mentioned but overall positive.
Value for Money

Lovely venue, stunning gardens.
Pros:

the venue was beautiful, the grounds stunning. Spotlessly clean.
Breakfast was lovely too.

Cons:

the only thing I could say was disappointing was the lady who worked in the restaurant at breakfast. Her attitude was not appreciated, we had never been to this venue before and only asked a question. Her reply was frosty, sharp and not very friendly at all. In a customer facing role you should be polite and courteous.
