Great stay
Great service, very nice grounds. A bit big and far from other things, but the rooms are very comfortable and it's perfect for a short staycation away from London

Wife’s 41st Birthday treat.
The hotel was lovely, the glasshouse is very nice with good cocktails and snacks.
Had the best massage ever with a Thai lady called Joe.
Hotel could do with modernising in the hall ways but apart from that stunning.
We will return in the summer with the children next time.

This place is one of a kind. Never stayed in a resort where staff is so welcoming and helpful. Food choice was amazing especially for a vegan were many places dont accommodate it.
From the parking to the checkout - all was spectacular. My first time at this hotel and i will definitely come again.

It’s a lovely hotel and grounds, beautiful walking trails, and service - staff are genuinely helpful and friendly. My only disappointment was this was booked for my birthday which the hotel was aware of, but there was no birthday surprise in the room upon arrival, no happy birthday at check in mentioned, and this was just a bit of a downer. Check in was also delayed as the room wasn’t ready till after 3pm which you don’t expect for a 5 star at this price!

The property is beautiful and very convenient. The grounds are stunning. I would have expected the rooms to be nicer given the $$$. The tub is so difficult to step into, I was scared each time as I'm pregnant and kept grabbing for dear life. I kept thinking what would people with disabilities or elderly do.
