Disgruntled
The hotel is very expensive for one night granted it has a hot tub but the cleanliness is not the best in the hot tub or in the room itself. I arrived late and left early and should have said something then. Cobwebs everywhere in the room and a dirty carpet and towels. No sugar or sweeteners provided either.

A lovely weekend away
This was an amazing, beauitful stay we will be returning.
Upon arrival we were kindly greeted and shown to our room. Very spacious, clean and private.
The hot tub was so relaxing and easy to use, we were in there for hours.
Breakfast very delicious with unlimited tea and coffee and worth the money.
The singing chef kept us entertained.
Also the food in the restaurant is top quality and worth the price.
The pub is out the way of the hustle and bustle but only a 20 min walk from the town fordingbridge.

The room was lovely and the hot tub was great. The restaurant and food were great. Only downside was the wait on food but we were told that the kitchen were understaffed which was understandable.

A very pleasant stay.
A very pleasant stay in a chalet type room which was comfortable and had everything we needed.
The food was good although we weren’t offered any daily specials. The menu was big enough as we only stayed 2 nights.

A lovely stay.
We had a really lovely stay, the room was large and well furnished and the bed was super comfortable. We had the use of a private jacuzzi which was very clean & good fun. All of the staff were very friendly & helpful and the food was excellent would highly recommend.
