Luxury stay

We have had a great stay. Dinner lastnight in the Smiths Brasserie was superb and when we retired to the oak bar after we received great service there also. Off to the spa this morning for a detox.

Beautiful location and surroundings. For the price, I expected it to be quite high end and they’re trying to be but don’t quite make it. Room smelt of baby sick on arrival so that a huge disappointment. I think they really lack good, quality staff but it is in the middle of nowhere so maybe tough to get good people. Service is slow, food took sooo long to come out. Gym is like a dungeon, dirty, dark, poor equipment and too small. Pool area was lovely. Room and views were awesome on the whole.

Wonderful country house hotel in about 200 acres of stunning grounds. Lots of outdoorsy things to do. The sitting rooms are glorious with open fires and the staff are attentive and there are lots of little touches that make the hotel stand out. The food is excellent, eat in the Great Western Restaurant if you can. Breakfast excellent.

A superb stay in a beautiful setting. The rooms are superb, as is the service and the general ambience. The Great Western Grill provides an excellent dining experience, very much in keeping with the hotel. Perhaps worth avoiding Smith's Brasserie though, which seems devoid of character, and to have been lifted from a nearby chain hotel. There are plenty of excellent pubs nearby though, so this isn't really an issue.
