Interesting historic main building set in beautiful grounds with views of IOW. Good facilities. All staff helpful and friendly. Our hotel room was in a lodge type building in the grounds. Spacious but dated. Bathroom has seen better days. Good food but very expensive. Lovely dining room, beautifully set tables but spoiled by grotty menus covered in finger marks and smears.

Beautiful, old building set in lovely gardens. There was a lot of open space and the accommodation was well spread out. It was nice to have a terrace to sit and enjoy a coffee. The Spa was very nice but I can imagine it gets very busy at certain times of the day.

It had easy access to the room but I didn’t ask for a walk in shower so we could not use the facilities. Our own fault. We were in the area for a party so did not use restaurants or spa facilities. My husband fell out of bed as he has Parkinson's disease and we were helped by one very special, kind young man, Stephen, who picked him up and made him comfortable in bed. Also called back to check things were okay. Other staff checked us in the morning and were very kind. There was no fault with the hotel but the staff made everything much better for us.

One night bed and breakfast stay. Excellent facilities including both indoor and outdoor pools with spa facilities. Very comfortable bed and well equipped room. The only slight criticism was the bathroom could do with a refurbishment. (Room 18). We choose to have an evening meal at the ferryman pub, just a short walk away but the cooked breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.
