Lovely Weekend away

We were met by Leah at reception. What a lovely happy warm welcome. Beautiful smile. The room was nice. Tea/coffee making facilities. Ensuite shower room. We had an amazing and very yummy 5 course Valentines dinner. Christina, our waitress was fantastic. Happy and friendly and made us smile with her happy energy. The hotel is well placed, nice and close to local shops and pubs. A nice hiking route around the Wey, starting just across the road. We will be back.

A beautiful gift to receive - a night in a Castle !

We loved our visit to the Castle for my birthday - we had a champagne afternoon tea, a lovely dinner and then somehow fitted in breakfast too. A fantastic castle and grounds. My opportunity to be a princess for a day !

Perfect Birthday Treat

I brought this experience for my husband’s 50th Birthday surprise. We had a fabulous stay, the staff were exceptional & really stand out, especially the restaurant manager (Ruby I think) who went above & beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening, she is such an asset to the restaurant. Our food was delicious, wine was good & service impeccable. Our room was ok, we were hoping to be in the main building, it were in the Priory which is a separate building, the room needed a little TLC, especially in the bathroom, it was overall clean & comfortable with a beautiful window seat. We had a lovely stay.

A very welcome break

We enjoyed a very welcome break at Rutland Water, using our buyagift voucher. The hotel is in a beautiful setting within easy reach of Rutland Water. We brought our e-trikes with us, so we could cycle along the shores. We set off after an excellent hotel breakfast, and had a perfect break away from home.
