We needed break and enjoyed a good, peaceful and relaxing time.
Pros:

We were pleased to find that there was a sofa in the room (couldn't see one in the photos) and that there was a good sized drawer in the bathroom. The bath was lovely too and the room comfortable overall. Easy access, by walking across the road from the hotel, directly into the woods and onto the shingle beach, was a great delight.

Cons:

While all meals were of a good portion size, some dishes seemed to be over priced for what they were. We also appreciated that the dining room, bar and lounge areas had been refreshed and updated compared to the photos, but, regrettably, we are not fans of the long bench seating in the dining room. We much prefer individual tables and chairs, and thankfully the restaurant was able to accommodate us.

It was very relaxing because the atmosphere was so calm and the staff were very pleasant.
Pros:

Good choice on the breakfast menu.

Cons:

The bath was quite deep and so climbing in for a shower may be problematic for some people.

Best ever relaxing. Really was an outstanding stay !
Pros:

Lovely peaceful area. Beautiful Decor. Comfortable relaxing lounges. Calm dining areas, service very fast and efficient. Nothing ever too much trouble Every single member of staff were attentive, helpful courteous . The lights in the grounds round the trees were so pretty. The Food was excellent. Dyson hairdryers too!!

Cons:

Everything really was perfect. Personally I wish we had thought to ask for ground floor, as stairs were tiring but there were only a few. And that was more to do with me and the extreme temperatures outside than any thing else Staff helped with luggage if required. The Hotel was difficult to find ! Think we had to turn round on most trips out as went wrong way round country lanes . Haha .
