Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful wooded valley with plenty of fantastic scenery, offering a cozy stay with a spectacular view of the hillside. The rooms, though described as having balconies, turned out to be unique 'pods,' resembling a huge caravan park, but surprisingly comfortable with a plush bed. The service, while prompt in the restaurant and pleasant from staff members, fell short in terms of overall customer service experience. The dining provided a good spread of options, with a few minor hiccups like soggy mushrooms. The location, despite being down the hill from certain areas, is idyllic and surrounded by Ancient Oak Woodland, making for a tranquil setting. However, the hotel should consider revising customer service levels to complement its excellence in building and location. The restaurant experience on a Saturday evening was noted as superb. Extra care could enhance this charming spot even further.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a unique setting with a 'pod' cabin that was different than expected, but the views were stunning. The service was friendly with some standout moments, although not all areas excelled. The location was serene and ideal for exploring the surrounding areas, but there were some quirks with the dining options. The facilities were adequate, but some aspects fell short of expectations.
This hotel is located on a hill within woodland, offering a peaceful retreat into nature. The staff provided friendly service but could enhance the customer experience. The dining experience was pleasant but with room for improvement. The rooms provide fantastic views but lack some amenities. Overall, a serene location for a relaxing stay.
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful location with easy access to local landmarks and lovely walks around the park. The rooms offer a luxurious experience with the added bonus of a nice jacuzzi bath, although management might need to rethink customer service levels. The dining options provide a good spread for every taste, while the facilities ensure a comfortable stay.
