nice stay

great locationbuggy servicelocal foodhot tub
the hotel has a great location with easy access to local attractions. breakfast at the main house was quite nice, i walked there but a buggy service was also available. i appreciated the cooked breakfast with many choices, the black pudding was especially tasty. there was also some local yorkshire food available.
i found the lack of a hot tub in the spa a bit disappointing, the space was converted into a larger seating area. i was looking forward to breakfast but waited an hour for hot food. servers seemed to be preparing for dinner instead of focusing on the breakfast service.

The room decor was really nice. I found the rooms quite spacious. The staff were always available and eager to help (which i appreciated).
The towels in my room had stains. There was no fridge in the room. I found this surprising, given the room size. The breakfast was chaotic and messy.

really lovely getaway

modern hotelperfect roomlarge bath
The hotel was beautiful. Very modern. the room was perfect and i enjoyed taking pizza back to my room with a few drinks. the large bath on the little terrace area outside of our divine room was wonderful. It even had overhead coverage.
i found that the spa lost its hot tub to get a larger seating area, a shame. i was looking forward to that the most.
Service

check-in at reception was excellent before being shown to my room, where facilities were located and explained. a member of staff quickly realised my wine was corked, before it was uncorked; they immediately replaced it. really good service.
