    Nice lakeside location in the countryside. Clean. Nice big room with lovely bathroom and big bath and shower. Tea-making facilities in room. Good breakfast and evening meal. On golf course and with some nice walks surrounding. We walked into Wakefield which took about an hour and a quarter.

    Bar in leisure area. Unclear as to use. Was told in no uncertain terms by spa staff to go across to the grand cafe bar, we were not able to use leisure center. Told opposite information at main reception.

    Exceptional room, quiet and peaceful setting despite a wedding.

    Food wasn’t the best, by all means was good as a first meal but it didn’t blow us away, beer prices very high as well, but a given really with the location of hotel. This won’t by any means deter us from staying again, we will definitely be back!

    The location and room were absolutely beautiful, quiet area and amazing comfy lounge.

    Staff were young with little knowledge about the menu products, a Manager had resigned and the other Manager was on holiday. The staff were rushed off their feet at breakfast, short staffed. But they tried hard.

    Room was very spacious, it could be made amazing, but was fine

    The evening meal menu was not quite what we had hoped. Not much in the way of choice and being in a rural and quite secluded setting, going somewhere else unless you drove, wasn’t an option. The room was lovely but unbearably hot as it was at the very top of the building so with the all day sun it was like an oven. To be fair though a fan was provided but made no difference in cooling us down.

    The setting and the property was beautiful. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of options. The spa treatments were absolutely fantastic. Ample parking too.

    The slap -dash attitude of the male receptionist as we went to log in. We had had a huge day travelling & felt he just wanted to 'Brush us off!" He might know off by heart the relevant information about Waterton Park, however it was our first experience A little bit of enthusiasm and positivity would have gone along way! The bed that we had was rock solid and maybe in need of an upgrade.

    Location as we were able to stay in the Estate historic house. Surrounding area was delightful for walking Surenity

    The roms in the main hotel are pretty anodyne, the restaurant feels more like a cafetria and the buffet breakfast was really poor ................ cereal in little boxes just like you would find in an old fashioned B&B years ago for example

    The location is fantastic and the rooms and spa on the island are just terrific

    A lovely hotel and a fabulous location with thoughtful caring staff.

    The restaurant menu has been greatly reduced since our last visit in the autumn of 2024.

    The hotel itself is lovely. We have stayed there a number of times in our chosen part of the hotel. Unfortunately we were unable to stay in one of these rooms and were allocated an upstairs room instead. It was a searingly hot spell and we were unable to open the windows as there were bees outside. Having said that, we spoke to the staff about this problem and they were amazing. They moved us to another room which was not as hot and we were able to open the windows. So, something I really like about the hotel is the caring accommodating staff. The score would most likely have been 9 if we had been in one of our usual rooms.

    Felt pool should be included in stay and not charged. If there is a wedding, not to put you under the wedding reception with music until 12pm. Appreciate did try and offer a new room but it was 10pm and did receive a 10% discount thank you. Fan needed in room.

    Staff very helpful and friendly. Always tried to resolve issues. Location very pretty. Food in resturant very nice .

    Odd procedures, not letting you use spa at set times until challenged, trying to walk in for a meal when there was lots of empty seats was a issue and made not to feel welcome, bar was meant to stay open late but closed early very odd place losing money where customers would have spent money

    The sun was shining and the photos on this site does not do it justice it’s a super building with nice grounds very peaceful
