Beautiful hotel! Amazing old castle feel! Water surrounding the hotel was fantastic! Staff was very friendly and helpful! The room was amazing! Quiet and had all the amenities! Shower was excellent! Bar service and room service were top notch! There was a wedding everyday which was lovely! Security code needed to enter and exit the main gate. Plenty of parking! Staff was super nice and helpful for us to find our way around! Definitely will be coming back soon and booking again and again!

Went there on a friends son's wedding, fabulous location in great grounds with a lake around it, you have to walk over a bridge across the lake to get to the building. From entering the service was 2nd to none with great views from the bar, drinks a tad expensive but expected, but even so 6.70 for a cask beer was a bit OTT. The rooms were a bit dated but clean with a big bath and shower and a massive bed, the only problem was that the room was very warm at night but we had a fan in the room which did help the temperature a bit, our room was overlooking the lake with a spacious balcony to sit out on and wat h the swans, ducks and geese swim by.
Wedding room set up very elegantly and the food and service by the staff exemplary. The evening buffet also excellent with a brilliant disco. Was feeling a bit rough on the Sunday morning but the breakfast saw to that. Excellent fried breakfast if you wanted it or a excellent choice of fruit, cereals, yoghurts you name it it was there. All in all a excellent weekend away.

Our daughter was married here on Easter Sunday. As her previous venue was unavailable at very short notice, with the help of Pauline & Emma the whole wedding was rearranged - to an amazingly high standard. We all had a brilliant day. Everyone loved their rooms - not one complaint. Every member of staff throughout the hotel was helpful & friendly. All in all fantastic day, place & staff
