“A perfect hotel in a picturesque setting and very dog friendly.”

Loved this hotel. It’s totally dog friendly which is what we were looking for. We always take our young boxer dog travelling with us and we much prefer staying in castles or older hotels with lots of character. We stayed in a standard room and it was perfect for what we needed. The furniture and decor was what we expected in this type of hotel. The girl in front desk when we checked in was fabulous, friendly and a big dog fan, which our boxer loved! The grounds are amazing, the river is stunning and lots of green space for our dog to run and lovely walks. There is a ‘dog friendly’ breakfast room which was beautiful, cooked breakfast was good also a buffet selection of pastries etc was available. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to any dog owners looking for a relaxing and picturesque setting but plenty of space for your pooch. All staff were welcoming and friendly. We loved it.

“Lovely stay, lots of positives, but ….”

Stayed here mid week for two nights on a B&B basis. We were on the first floor facing the Abbey in room 108. The hotel itself is very impressive, especially the downstairs with some beautiful views.

Stayed here mid week for two nights on a B&B basis. We were on the first floor facing the Abbey in room 108. The hotel itself is very impressive, especially the downstairs with some beautiful views. Lots of parking outside. Breakfast was fine with plenty of choices and staff were more than happy to help. We also ate dinner at the restaurant which was lovely, can’t fault the meal (all 3 courses) or the service. Our room was clean and warm with Furniture that was in keeping with the hotel, not modern, but fit for purpose. The bed was really comfortable, and I am ultra fussy when it comes to beds. They had tea and coffee making facilities, although a bit mean with one little packet of biscuits, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, TV on the wall. We could also hear people walking/stomping around upstairs in the room above and so the soundproofing wasn’t great either! Lots of condensation on the windows, presume it being a listed building and what they can do and it being expensive? The bathroom however, I was in need of some attention, the wallpaper on the ceiling?? Was coming away, not sure why anyone would put wallpaper on the ceiling, again lots of condensation on the window, the sink was ultra modern and was at a height that if you were of a short stature, i.e. maybe 5 foot three and under you would have to get on a stall to wash your hands properly, I’m 5ft 5 and the sink came to my breastbone, a real design flaw. Also, the shower power wasn’t great. Of note, you have to tell them at reception if you want to have your room cleaned, they don’t have those notices that you put on the front of your door, so be aware of this. One little comment, as we decided not to have our room cleaned, the young girl who was on reception, we asked if we could have some more tea and another little packet of biscuits as we would presume this would be replenished, had we had our room cleaned, she wasn’t very chivalrous and it felt like we were asking for her right arm! Not great customer service All in all, we had a lovely day and were definitely return if we were in the area.

We called in for lunch as we had not been for many years. it is a beautiful spot, the staff were all very helpful. The homemade lunch was delicious. The place does lack atmosphere though. There were a few sad looking Christmas decorations around the place .It could easily be made so much more festive and welcoming with trees, lights, candles and a lit fire!
