It is a relatively good resort hotel. The hotel has been newly renovated. The internal structure can still be seen as an old building. The hotel is clean and beautiful. You can drive there by yourself or take a taxi.

One of the best hotels I've been to! I went because I was attracted to the spa, but I came out because I fell in love with other activities. Outdoor swimming is great, including tennis and golf.

I occasionally eat at The Stables and always have an enjoyable meal. I have not been to The Glasshouse restaurant for over two years but am due to eat there in the near future which I am looking forward to. However I quite often pop into The Glasshouse bar for a lager or a lager and a toasted sandwich. Whenever I go I come away totally relaxed. What really makes the Glasshouse bar so good is the staff. They are all so friendly and welcoming. They are an excellent team and always make you feel special. It would be unfair to name any individual member of the bar team as they are all superb.

Nice but disappointing
Beautiful setting. Very comfortable bed and room.
Food very expensive. £24 for burger & fries.
Excellent breakfast but the dining room was chaotic overcrowded and unpleasant. Front desk and valet parking service was excellent

Amazing Anniversary Stay
It was our 24th wedding anniversary & this was addressed by us being given an early check in (requested some time before) & a slightly later check out as we had a morning spa treatment. We were given a bottle of champagne & chocolates in our room & the staff were all thoroughly assertive, kind & helpful. A few months prior to our stay we had a phonecall to ask if the a customer Relations Team could help with anything during our stay & a few days before our stay we had a watts app message asking the same thing & responded to any messages almost immediately so the service was impeccable. Every part of the hotel was spotless clean, well sign posted & 5 star. The ‘Feast on Cloud 9’ was a lovely experience as was the pop up restaurant Skewd. The walled garden & outside pool & beach was amazing especially as we had fantastic weather. If we could afford it I would love to stay again & would highly recommend it to others!

Lovely hotel but stay impacted by room problem
Hotel was decorated lovely for Christmas and the food and drink in the Bar and Glasshouse were excellent. I could see the grounds and activities would be great in spring or summer.
We had a problem with our TV and lock in the room and although they very quickly sent an engineer, and then further support people, we had expected it to just be something like new batteries in the remote but turned into people in the room with us for approx an hour total so we couldn't relax and delayed getting ready for the evening meal. As we were only here for one night it impacted being able to leave the room for the spa etc. The poor guy was busy and covering on his own but perhaps if he had said what it would have taken to fix (time/disruption) we would have just said leave it. Shame we felt we didn't fully experience the facilities then.

Stayed for one night and booked The Feast hot air balloon tasting menu. Setting was beautiful and the food was good although a little cold. The event is run by another company so the hotel don’t have control over that. The glasshouse buffet breakfast was amazing and the spa also good although not enough chairs round the pool. The room was huge but we had to be moved due to noise from a wedding reception exiting and associated suppliers clearing up. The hotel were amazing at sorting this. Booked to return at Christmas for their three day Christmas break and really excited as the staff are so lovely and everything is immaculate. Stables pub area is lovely especially on the terrace in summer. Would highly recommend!
