I visited this venue with a group of friends for a relaxing couple of days away. Unfortunately, due to the very poor customer service, the break was not at all relaxing & focused more on sitting around waiting for managers to solve our issues. In fairness, the evening dinner was very nice. However, my room was very small - the... More

Booked a two night dream break, This included Bed and breakfast, dinner on one night, and an afternoon tea. Also included were two spa sessions. The country house photos lured me into thinking this was a quiet rural house with high standards of service. What i discovered was less than satisfactory. On arrival you will firstly be greeted by the... More

My husband arranged dinner here at the end of our holiday but this was a huge mistake. On arrival we found the menu limited, the main course consisted of two fish courses, one vegetarian, one chicken and a lamb option. We should have followed our instinct and left as there was nothing we really wanted but we compromised. As we... More

I took an old friend here for lunch on Sunday May 20th, as a special occasion The hotel is beautifully set up, and the staff were both very competent and friendly, needless to say mostly from overseas. However the lunch itself was rather disappointing. Both of us had the 'capucchino of Brixham crab, which though quite flavoursome was rather watery,... More

Decided to stay here for my partners birthday after a recommendation from family. When we arrived the friendly receptionist showed us around the facilities, bit of a nightmare when you are carrying cases! Overwhelming smell of damp when we entered our room. Room was pleasant with nice selection of fresh coffee, biscuits etc. Furniture is quirky, nice bed. The food... More

Had a lovely stay at this hotel - booked 1 night spa break package and everything was faultless. Beautiful food, wonderful room and fab treatments and the hotel itself is really beautiful. My only little niggle would be that the robes they provide for you could come in a larger size but apart from that everything else about the hotel... More

My partner and I booked a one night stay deal here, which included full use of the spa both days, 30 minute massage each, 3 course dinner, and as much breakfast as you like the next day. We arrived at about 11am, a few hours before check in so we could go on and use the spa. Our deal included... More

This was our first spa break and it was brilliant! We booked the £199 deal for a night with a meal and breakfast, plus a treatment and use of the facilities. We arrived about 11 and were upgraded to the honeymoon suite, number 27 the South Wing, due to the hotel being quite empty. This was, we were told, the... More

I stayed here for my 21st, the room was amazing, food was amazing. The spa was good and very quiet when we went so we were lucky! The staff were great especially restaraunt staff! Had treatments which were lovely and came back very happy and relaxed. Would recommend to anyone! Shame I can't afford to go more!!
