Fabulous venue and wonderful, helpful staff who did everything they could to make our stay as great as it could be. Beautiful grounds - peaceful walks round the lake with the opportunity to see hundreds of species of wild birds. However: the mattresses - they seriously need to sort out some of the mattresses which are old, damaged & painful. Also if you have a disability: the rooms are fully adapted but the heavy external doors to the accommodation block are not automatic or adapted.

Room was adequate, and shower was good. Breakfast menu was extensive although layout could be improved eg toast at one end of the room, and butter and jams were at the other end - not very logical.

A excellent deal room clean and tidy, en-suite and tea making facilities perfect. One small suggestion put on the website about the tea/coffee facilities and mention Towels are provided.

My room was perfect for this short stay. It was very secure as I had to use my entry card three times to get into the room. Very quiet and clean.
