My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant with excellent rooms that are top-notch and very comfortable. The service was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making my visit enjoyable. The location is great, particularly for the woodland walks, but the dining experience left something to be desired. While the facilities are lovely, the high prices at the Italian restaurant were unexpected.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful grounds and lovely forest walks. The spacious rooms had everything I needed, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We dined at Franchinis on the first night, which was a delightful experience.

We had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms were luxurious and spacious, with beautiful views of the garden. The service from the staff was exceptional; they were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, with some dishes not living up to the rest of the food quality.

While some dishes were delicious, others were overcooked and cold, which was disappointing. The soup of the day paired with a sandwich was less than satisfying, especially since the sandwich felt small and not very appealing.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, especially since the rooms were spacious, clean, and even had their own little garden, which was perfect for my pup. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home, although I did notice some organization issues. The location provided a great sense of space, but it felt a little remote, which might not suit everyone. The dining experience was good, but the breakfast selection could be improved, especially for a five-star establishment.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is spacious and well-laid out. The atmosphere was generally pleasant, but there were a few hiccups that kept it from being truly exceptional, such as a lack of expected amenities in the room and some dining disappointments. Overall, while the staff were friendly and responsive, I do wish there had been a bit more attention to detail, especially considering the 5-star rating.
