Overall, the hotel offers a beautiful setting in spacious grounds, which is ideal for relaxation and even early morning runs. However, the rooms could use some updates and I had issues with the service during my stay. The food quality, especially for breakfast, stood out positively, but the value for additional amenities like Wi-Fi could be better. It has potential, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

My room was adequate but felt quite warm, and I couldn't open the window much for fresh air. It could definitely use a refresh, as it felt a bit dated.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the hotel itself is beautiful and located in a lovely setting, but the noise levels from events made it hard to relax during my visit. While I appreciated the effort of the staff in trying to accommodate us, the breakfast experience did not meet my expectations. Overall, it was a decent experience with room for improvement.

The room we ended up in was clean and spacious, but being situated in the stables area meant we faced a lot of noise from nearby events.

I had high hopes for this hotel, especially with its beautiful grounds, but the experience fell short. While the reception staff was friendly and attentive, the overall condition of the rooms and the dining service left much to be desired. The location is beautiful, but the lack of amenities and the heat made the stay quite uncomfortable. I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

The hotel has beautiful grounds and a convenient location, making it a good choice for travelers. The rooms are decent-sized with comfortable beds, but the noise insulation leaves a lot to be desired. Dining options are limited but surprisingly tasty, although service can be hit or miss. Overall, the pricing is reasonable for the area, but inconsistent experiences make it hard to recommend wholeheartedly.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds, providing a lovely atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and the check-in process was smooth, making for an enjoyable start to my stay. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with average food quality, and the noise from events nearby was disruptive at times. Overall, it's a decent place for a quick stay but lacks the luxury feel for a weekend getaway.
