i stayed in a roomy signature room and it was spacious. there was a hallway before entering the bedroom and bathroom, i liked that separation.

i found the staff to be lovely. i especially remember elizabeth at the bar. the natural surroundings were beautiful.. i appreciated the proximity to nature. breakfast was nice too.
the hotel is becoming a little tired. i noticed this compared to my previous visits. i always feel something is missing despite the provided dressing gowns, mints, and tea facilities. i think the hotel could offer packages with extra room items.

the breakfast buffet was quite tasty with a good variety to choose from. the staff we encountered were cute and helpful. i loved that the stove restaurant was great for both breakfast and evening dining. wainwrights pub offered a good bar meal.
my ground floor room was right next to the road, so people walking and driving past were very close. privacy was limited. though
