Disappointing Been there before not going Back

Absolutely wonderful stay

Arrival was confusing with the valet parking, it wasn’t clear. Our afternoon tea wasn’t served where we were told it would be, so wandered up and down trying to find it. Room was large and bed comfy, but mould all over the bathroom ceiling and had to request a fan as it wasn’t possible to reduce the room temperature. Also, window catch broken on one window. Pool nice and large but the pool area was a bit shabby and tired in places. Issues reported to reception on leaving but no further contact on any of them. Beautiful location and liked the fact they draw and treat their own water from the river for baths etc. but won’t be back.

A terrific stay in a wonderful place.

Was excellent

We have had a great stay. Dinner lastnight in the Smiths Brasserie was superb and when we retired to the oak bar after we received great service there also. Off to the spa this morning for a detox.

Full of character with excellent & knowlegeable staff

An absolutely stunning experience

Stunning hotel, fantastic staff

Our stay at this hotel was lovely. There were a few issues with our bath and window but the staff arranged for an alternative room to be made available for us. Both rooms were very well appointed. The weather outside was poor but the reception rooms in the hotel were decorated beautifully and kept warm with lively open fires and we enjoyed refreshing drinks and tasty snacks. Our meals in the restaurants, served by friendly, polite, attentive staff, looked lovely and tasted even better. The spa facilities were excellent a good sized pool with hot sauna and steam rooms that were not overcrowded. It was a shame the falconer had to cancel because their eagle was unwell but we were invited back at another time to meet them and their birds. The minor issues that we experienced were dealt with so well by the staff, it left us definitely wanting to return. The staff working here were a real credit to the hotel.

Wonderful country house hotel in about 200 acres of stunning grounds. Lots of outdoorsy things to do. The sitting rooms are glorious with open fires and the staff are attentive and there are lots of little touches that make the hotel stand out. The food is excellent, eat in the Great Western Restaurant if you can. Breakfast excellent.

A superb stay in a beautiful setting. The rooms are superb, as is the service and the general ambience. The Great Western Grill provides an excellent dining experience, very much in keeping with the hotel. Perhaps worth avoiding Smith's Brasserie though, which seems devoid of character, and to have been lifted from a nearby chain hotel. There are plenty of excellent pubs nearby though, so this isn't really an issue.

The property is large and pretty but seems to be suffering from a bit of overwhelm of staff and some basic misses (room was not ready by 4 which is already a late check in time - we had to wait over 30 mins); little help with the bags when arriving in the rain despite doorman standing in the doorway; too long for kid hours in the pools leaving adults with 5-8 pm only which is really dinner time; tired decor in rooms. On the plus side, the food was great and the beds were very comfortable. The service in the spa was good (despite pushing product sales) and the sauna and spa facilities were very nice and well kept.

This time of the year is very special with the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and Christmas decorations around the hotel. The warm calming fireplaces give it an extra enchanted feel.

Fantastic and totally beautiful location. Quiet and lovely grounds. If you're a golfer it would be even better. Staff work so hard and are all so professional and welcoming. Beautiful at Christmas and I would recommend it unreservedly.

Excellent stay

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Before arrival, I requested a bouquet of flowers and some balloons to be arranged in our room, and it was beautifully set up just as we hoped. The room itself was lovely, we stayed in a castle valley view room. Waking up to a breathtaking sunrise made it even more memorable. The Sunday roast was exceptional, honestly, the best we’ve had anywhere, and we’ve tried many places for roasts! Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of variety. We even requested a few items not on the menu, and it was no trouble at all. A truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

Superb stay, comfortable and relaxing in this magnificent estate

Very good stay. Staff are amazing.
