Great stay overall, modern and clean with nice facilities. Our room faced the road, which was a bit noisy but nothing a pair a good earplugs can't resolve. Lovely picturesque village and good restaurant!

food location, comfortable room
Well appointed, comfortable and quiet room with easy parking. Dinner not worth the money, adequate but nothing special. Service was very good but the management policy of not returning left policy after six months is petty - I left my iphone charger behind on my last stay, called on return home and was told the charger would be retained for my next visit - seems that despite the efforts of the staff to retuen my policy this was stopped due to a management edict citing six months. Very petty and left a sour taste.

Amazing stay
Wonderfully designed hotel and bedrooms, complete with finishing details. Large comfortable beds with working heating provided a warm cosy evening. Beautiful landscape and surrounding views. Would love to visit in the summer and enjoy a ride along the river.

A lovely location for a modern twist on the country house hotel. We stayed in the Coach House apartment which was quirky but well appointed. Great food and service at the Coppa Club with other options nearby.

The Hotel is lovely
The Hotel is lovely and the reception staff excellent. The only non 5* part of the stay was in the restaurant where an otherwise excellent meal was blemished by a very gristly steak which was met pretty much with a shrug of the shoulders when pointed out to the serving staff.
