Our stay was superb from start to finish. It’s such an iconic and magical place and we chose to stay for that reason. However the quality of our stay and the service we received exceeded our expectations. The building, gardens, bar and restaurant are superb. Breakfast and dinner were both of a very high standard and the staff are great too. Our room (15) with its own balcony overlooking the gardens was superb.

Great atmosphere being next to the courtyard pub and beer garden. Nice deck outside our room which we sat and had drinks of. Bonus was the use of the spa pool. We visited in peak season, but it didn’t feel too overcrowded or busy - just a nice overall feel
