Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as part of a group holiday. Service was fantastic, bed very comfy and setting beautiful. We had a great meal in the bar one evening too, fabulous steak and ale pie. It's a yes from me .

Nice room, good size, and good sized bathroom. Breakfast was really good, make sure you book including breakfast. All the staff we had dealings with were great. We ate in the bar and the menu isn't extensive but all the food we had was great. Nice selection of beers.

The hygiene standards are a disgrace. We paid over 300 for a signature suite for our wedding as we wanted a nice room where the photographer could take photos of people getting ready. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the lasts guests, there were hairs in the bath, the floor was dirty and the bin was full of used sanitary towels and toilet paper, the mini fridge was stocked with bottles of water but when we went to take a drink one was actually already opened and had been drank out of. Absolutely would not recommend.

The team absolutely made our stay. So warm and friendly, made a real fuss of our dog too (even with a welcome of some leftover roast beef!) The food was lovely, as was breakfast. Room was tidy and fairly clean. We liked the colors as it felt very peaceful and relaxing. This place is a gem for dogs as there are se lovely walks down to the river very close by. The gym and pool are great and useful to have. I really enjoyed the jacuzzi and pool, however the pool should be monitored by a member of staff especially when children are present. Absolutely would stay again.

The Inglewood Room was dated, not particularly clean for the price paid 280 for two nights (breakfast included) breakfast was cooked fine but if you are going to hot hold a lot of the items then atleast put as a self service buffet. 16 is way over priced for that breakfast. Staff were very friendly and probably made up for a lot of the minor problems I had experienced. Would stay again but not at that price point.
