Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is uniquely located by the abbey and golf course with beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious, soothing in color, and come with a Nespresso machine, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptionally supportive and friendly, ensuring a warm welcome with toasted sandwiches and seating with golf course views. The dining experience offers superb dishes in a tastefully decorated dining room. The hotel's facilities are top-notch, with a genuine Pullman Car Restaurant and a historic 18th-century residence.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are well-appointed but lack a second sink in the bathroom. Heating can be tricky, and the coffee machine is difficult to operate. The setting resembles a secondary school cafeteria, which may not be everyone's taste.
My time at the hotel was just perfect. The rooms were large, comfortable, and immaculate. The view was lovely. The staff was friendly, genuine, and truly invested in their roles, creating a wholesome atmosphere. The location was ideal, especially for events, with breathtaking surroundings to enjoy. The dining experience had its hits and misses, but the overall stay was delightful.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were fantastic, although I had requested a higher floor or a view of the lake but wasn't accommodated. The service was friendly and welcoming, with some slight mishaps. The hotel's location was peaceful, beautiful, and convenient. The dining experience was good, with a few inconsistencies. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few hiccups.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful! The rooms were not only quiet and beautifully furnished but also offered a lovely garden view where the falconry demonstration took place. It was a joy to dine in such a picturesque setting. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spacious, making my stay truly relaxing.

The location was again lovely with wonderful views, making it ideal for special occasions. The dining experience was delightful, although not as fresh as expected.
