Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
This quintessential English country house with spa, pools, kids' club, elegant bedrooms and fun treehouses hits all the right luxurious notes for a romantic or family stay. 'Outstanding in its luxury,' writes a happy reader. Tennis, golf, croquet, gardens and woodland – plus a path to the beach – mean that there's no need to leave this five-star cocoon. Relax in one of the lounges with their old-school elegance or around the pool in the light-flooded spa. There is also an outdoor pool. Main house bedrooms are lightly traditional – soft colours, marble bathrooms – with parkland views, many with balcony or terrace. Suites are more contemporary while the treehouses are sharply modern, and 'out of this world' with 'wonderful forest views, a hot tub on the balcony, stocked kitchenette and breakfast hamper that appeared through a chute in the kitchen'. 'Wonderful food' is served in the glass-roofed Dining Room for traditional fine dining such as Thai lobster curry or rib-eye on the bone (vegetarian, too), and the breezier Kitchen for gourmet burgers and pizzas. Staff were 'plentiful, courteous and well trained'. (Anthony Bradbury, VS, and others)
