The only downside to this lovely hotel was the neon lighting in the breakfast room. I think it is supposed to be arty as there is a large collection of art spanning most genre's. However in the breakfast room the neon lighting made the atmosphere confusing and not relaxing. When we arrived the heating had not been working or the... More

Two friends and my wife and I visited the hotel for dinner in the restaurant. Upon arriving at the hotel we were very impressed by its situation in open parkland .Although slightly early for our reservation we were told that the table was ready for us. The restaurant was pleasant and comfortable and full of character, we ordered our meals... More

A delightful (and deliberate on my part) change from the faceless corporate 'chain' hotels, this place and its people oozes charm and character. The recreation of a comfortable, homely, friend's hunting lodge is done very well (and according to the really engaging staff, deliberately). Made to feel very welcome on arrival by every member of staff and personally shown to... More

We stayed here for three days in April 2013. Room was great, wish we could have taken the bathroom home with us. The food was delicious, plus the added entertainment of watching it being cooked over the big open fire in the dining room, the chef must have been made of asbestos. The resident rooms are big comfortable and tasteful.... More

Really nice place. Room was immaculate [we stayed in Ellis] and the restaurant was good [tasty, unpretentious, good value] as well. There is a nice walk around the edge of the deer park. Very cosy and enjoyable weekend.

Had an excellent meal with colleagues last night. All 8 meals were spot on. I had the rib steak which was very good. The atmosphere is great and the staff first class and very attentive. The also have a home brewed chilli vodka....that was very hot. Can't wait to go back!

If you're passing through and get a chance then try this place out. Get booked in the Elk room if you can! Do take a walk around and admire the decor, its oddly superb. The staff, the food and the ale is terrific. I would recommend the local deer mixed grill, fish and rabbit dishes. Oh, and Carrolls potatoes are... More

Stayed over the Easter Weekend which was absolutely packed with people when we arrived on Saturday afternoon. I have to say, the place isn't exactly what we expected going from the web site. Enjoyable all the same but the place has a bit of an identity crisis with very strange artwork and bits and pieces dotted around (definitely not sure... More

A fantastic atmosphere, food, loved the decor & the open fires! Enjoyed it so much we popped in again the following day. The bar snacks are worth a look as well. A must visit if you are in the area! Definitely book a table as it gets busy.
