    Absolutely magnificent resort. Situation is breathtaking, staff were attentive and friendly. Food absolutely delicious. Hikes well planned and something to do for everyone. Will definitely return.

    On this occasion I struggled to find anything on the dinner menu to eat, no fault of the property (food is always great and well presented), I am just a very fussy eater and don't always find something I eat on the menu, the deserts always come to the rescue.

    Everything was perfect as always, the staff go out of their way to make you feel special, pity we could only stay one night on this occasion, we have already booked our next visit in May 2026.

    Nothing! But we are fully mobile - the movement between accommodation and entertainment buildings could be a problem for less fortunate guests.

    The friendly and capable staff gave us a warm welcome. The property is well equipped and excellently maintained.

    Could have done with a shower cap in the room and some body lotion. Also ordered tea when we came back from our morning walk and we were charged for it as we just after the tea time and before lunch. Considering what we paid for our weekend, and the distance we travelled to get there, we felt that this should have been included. The porridge needed a bit of salt - was very bland. The above just constructive feedback - we loved our stay!

    All meals were excellent -nicely portioned and very tasty. Great selection of wine and loved the wine cellar. The grounds and walks and facilities were all great. Can see how it would be easy to spend a whole week here! Staff very friendly. Enjoyed the quiz. Beds were comfy and rooms / bathrooms nicely renovated and decorated.
