What a lovely property and area. We had a wedding the attend so weren’t there for too long but wish we could have explored more. The lake view is absolutely stunning. Carl was a delight and so so helpful. We absolutely loved it. The room was spotless clean. I want to go back and see more of the area. I’d absolutely stay here again!

We stayed one night as we had booked to see a show at local theatre. Usually we would stay in self catering but thought due to short stay try a B and B which we have not done for several years.. The location, staff owner/ landlady and breakfast were great. You are made welcome with a friendly service. The room was exceptionally clean and a comfortable bed. It was quiet and restful . I would recommend if visiting local area. Price was good and options explained to make it even more cost effective. Forgot how good B and B can be if it's done well. Thanks a lot.

I booked a single room but when I checked in they had upgraded me to a double room at no extra cost. The room was very clean. There was a good selection of tea/coffee. There was a small chocolate bar and biscuit that I wasn't expecting.

An elegantly beautiful, luxury hotel. Very good selection at Breakfast served by friendly efficient waiters in the sunny Rose room- a smaller more intimate dining room. Delightful. Most impressive marble bathroom with lovely accessible bath for older visitors . Good size bath towels and bathrobes provided. (Slippers no longer offered)

Excellent customer service from the man who greeted us. Lovely room in immaculate condition with plenty of crockery and glasses. The bath and shower were very nice and we enjoyed the jacuzzi function! The bed was very comfortable and the USB chargers were very useful. The breakfast was delicious. There was plenty of space in the car park.

Perfect stay for us just off the A12 to get a good quiet night’s sleep in a comfortable bed together with a kettle for drinks and a good shower. Lovely breakfast in the morning and very welcoming helpful staff throughout. Unfortunately we didn’t get time to use the leisure centre but that would have been an added bonus too. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We got a lovely welcome when we arrived. When we first arrived in our room there was a strange noise so we were very kindly upgraded to another room that was perfect and we were very grateful. We had dinner in the hotel which was very tasty and a lovely breakfast with good choice the following morning. The hotel is right on the high street and opposite the church. There is parking at the hotel.

Beautiful grounds, well maintained. Staff are very accommodating, professional, and welcoming. Breakfast staff on both stays were lovely. Loved visiting the alpacas and walking around the grounds. The courtyard rooms are modern and relaxing.

Love the building, great ambience, very relaxing.. It was somewhere different for us friends to go too, we were celebrating a birthday..🎉🎂 Locals were friendly and made us welcome.. Staff we're very helpful and accommodating 👍. Enjoyed the studio/apartment ground floor, great when mobility is limited.. Nice to have space, sofa's to sit on, and relax. Can see the restaurant is busy and food looked lovely. We didn't eat, we're drinkers and enjoy socialising.
