Positive: Everything was great. Can't praise it highly enough. Celebrated my partner's 70th birthday and the flowers that i ordered were lovely and waiting in the room.

Negative: The fact that you couldn't make your tea and let it brew in a pot. I would be nice to have your pot and small jug of milk.

Summary: will be booking another stay, without fail

Positive: My partner and I stayed here over the weekend for two nights, the hotel is lovely, caught our eye as soon as it was visible from the main road, staff incredible, so helpful and friendly, breakfast was brilliant, great selection of flavourful foods, and brilliant destination, close to villages, areas for long country walks/rides (both bike and horse), close to local pubs and restaurant, we will definitely come back

Negative: My one and only grumble really is to do with the spa and health facilities… no gym, or anything dedicated to working out, pools are tiny, both in and out, lots of children jumping around, felt like there could have been some more adult/children dedicated times, if there was more than 3 people in the pool, it felt crowded. The spa costing £30pp per day, is not worth the money at all, it is extremely over priced for what it is, there also should be a better deal if you are staying for a few days to be able to either include it for the whole weekend, or one payment and you can use it when you want, 2 people for 3 days £60 a day is an extra £180, it’s nice to have but it’s a sauna and steam, you won’t get much more than a 45 minute visit until you’re done. And I seemed to get the vibe the cost was being pushed, no one told us you can do 24hours from the time you start, until we enquires this with the spa staff, it’s was very ‘nope, £30pp per day’ until then.

Summary: Amazing stay, brilliant staff and food.

Positive: We chose your hotel (Balmers Lawn) to spend the weekend celebrating my wifes 70th birthday having spent a weekend here on our anniversary the previous year. Breakfast was very good, the staff were amazing and location absolutely idyllic.

Negative: However we reported to reception that in our room (55) our wash basin has a large crack in it. The first night (Friday) our bed began to separate and we found the mechanical brackets top and bottom had not been used to fix the bases together, and the wing nuts were wound right in so it was obvious the brackets had not simply come loose but had never been connected and had to do ourselves in recently hours of the morning. We noticed when moving the bases that the carpet under the bed was absolutely appalling it had not been hoovered for somewhere and included cut paper, an ear plug and much detritus, pictures We reported this to reception the following morning with photos. Interventionist appeared directors this and apologised.On our return the carpet beneath the bed had been hovered.

Summary: Very pleasantly a few disappointing episodes as reported to reception and recorded here in this feed

Positive: The restaurant was nice for a fancy dinner, the food was very good although quite pricy but tasty. The estate is nice if you have a dog as there's plenty of space to run around. The indoor pool was great.

Negative: The staff at the reception was not friendly at checkin, that's the first impression of the hotel and it was not nice. When you went to check in at 3pm, they said the rooms are not available still cleaning them and didn't even say when it will be ready, we got it 30 min late. They acted as if this was a normal occurrence for the hotel. The rooms are very worn down, clean but worn down, the bathroom is not nice to look at, moldy sealant all around, the shower was getting cold randomly on and off. The water bottle in the room costs £5 on your tab if you open it! Paying £250 a night and I don't even get free water! The room itself was big but not well equiped, the kettle does not work properly, there's no bedside lights and no outlet! How are you supposed to charge your phone? That's how old the rooms are! Definitely not a 4 star hotel experience The same tables where I was served dinner ALC were also for serving continental breakfast which was a bit disappointing compared to the dinner food quality, very basic food choices using the cheapest ingredients, the jam was basically the jelly kind full of sugar, the "cheese board" was a few slices of goat cheese!, no vegan option for english breakfast, no herbal tea or earl gray tea option, only black tea and black coffee. Not something to get excited about to be honest. I am very disappointed given that I payed £250 for 1 night, that would have gotten me a nice hotel with a private hot tub in lake distric area!

Summary: Rude reception, messy management, old rooms, dissapointing experience
