“Something special to do & we are happy to have visited. The above are comments not complaints.”
Very special place and very special to experience the history of such an old establishment. Beautiful surroundings and magnificent gardens. The building is old, which is what attracted us to stay there.

“Loved the area & the meals were hundreds. Staff pleasant but accommodation stuffy & unpleasant.”

“I enjoyed the location, service, and food, but the room did not meet my comfort expectations.”
Location spot on closer to all attraction i wanted to go to, the staff incredible friendly and welcoming, the food was brilliant breakfast was delicious and dinner at the bar area was top-notch. The atmosphere in the bar was amazing perfectly unwinding after a long day. Swimming pool was clean and well taken of.

“Like a Garden of Eden on top of a mountain.”
We loved the setting in this beautiful mountain village. The hotel gardens are lovely, but the rooms are cramped. We understand it is an historical hotel (we last visited 40 years ago) and that renovations cost a lot of money, but the corridors and public areas could do with a serious revamp. They are looking musty and tired. The en-suite to our room was new and modern, but that was about all we could say of the room. Wi-Fi is only available in the public areas, which was inconvenient. The bar and eating areas were nice, though, and staff were friendly. Our room was made up each day - a big plus.

“A great stay for a two week working visit.”
Everything, we had a warm welcome and great hospitality from everyone from the owner to the cleaners. The bar and food was good and great value (the fillet steak was world class!)

“We booked out a day early as the hotel spoilt our wonderful time we had visiting the beautiful Open Gardens”
Absolutely nothing did we like about this property. Extremely run down, hugely overpriced for what you get.

“Lovely relaxed stay in a beautiful area!”
The breakfast including a fruit starter and hot meal and coffee was very good. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We loved the suite we stayed in with a sunny patio and a big glass sliding door with a view of the little stream. We loved the fireplace in the bedroom with wood and firelighters supplied.
