Positive: A tranquil and peaceful place in a beautiful setting. Lovely cabin with beautiful interior design, amenities including a fully kitted out kitchen, sofa/lounging area, very comfy large bed and TV. Staff were pleasant. An intimate, calming, relaxing place to escape to for the weekend.
Negative: When we arrived we were excited to explore with the retreat’s free bicycles. We’d booked these in advance. However there were a few to choose from and all apart from one were not usable- either a broken chain, jammed brakes, or flat tyre. Rusty pedals, no bottle holders. Just not maintained at all. If you are looking forward to a country cycle take your own bikes. The ‘spa’ is disappointing. It is essentially a large bathroom/wet room. You have to book a 30 minute slot in advance to use it. Unfortunately no robes available for us. Upon entering the ‘spa’ there is a laundry basket full of used towels next to a mop propped up against the wall. A large yellow plastic ‘wet floor sign’ in the centre of the room, and a bench with a couple of hooks on the wall. You feel like you’re in a hotel laundry room. Two showers on the wall one of which had a handle missing so unable to turn on, and there was another little shower behind a wall in the corner. Two doors off the wet room; one leading to a small sauna and another the steam room. Both were clean and well maintained. That was the whole spa. Outside the spa room there was a tankard of water but no cups. I had to open the spa door (opening to the main room of the hotel where everyone was having their lunch) and stand there like a lemon in my bikini and (likely) mascara dripping down my face waiting for someone to see I was there and needed help. I asked a staff member for some cups for the water and a robe. The cups were delivered. There is a hot tub outside the spa under a little shelter next to the car park. Again you need to book your 30 minute slot in advance to use this. We’d booked ours days in advance yet when we arrived for our session we had to find staff who then came to turn the hot tub on and it needed to warm up. It wasn’t clean either. Essentially, this retreat is a lovely place to stay- the main room, food, patio area and huts are lovely but do not go for the ‘spa’ facilities, you’ll be disappointed.
Summary: A beautiful and relaxing stay, but disappointing spa facilities.

Negative: I didn't like thatsome of the bedroom windows were broken/nailed shut or wouldn't open (farmhouse). Fridge didn't shut properly either as freezer needed defrosting so wasn't cold.
Summary: Very clean, could do with some maintenance considering the price charged. Generally very nice

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: - large lodge - nice large barn as the resturant - relaxing atmosphere - two lovely staff members - guy at reception and lady working the spa
Negative: - staff were slow, untrained and unprofessional - lots of flies around the continental breakfast, could do with investing in some covers for the fruit, cheese, yogurt etc. really put us off eating there! - staff didn’t wait on outdoor tables, had to order at bar but service charge still added. When they brought out the new drinks they never cleared the old glasses away. - super understaffed for dinner service on a Friday night, one waitress to about 10 large tables - breakfast staff super slow and forgot our coffee order - you had to book time slots for the “spa” which was 1 hot tub shared and the waiting area was in the Resturant - food was expensive and a bit underwhelming - was brought a dirty cafeteria at breakfast full of dust - few upgrades needed in the barn. The bathroom is a wet room which meant the water never drained and the entire floor was soaking the entire 3 day stay which was uncomfortable - few cobwebs and spiders on windows - mould in bathroom from water damage needs to be replaced on woodwork by the door We stayed in The Warren
Summary: Could be 10/10 if they listened to reviews, would stay again but only for a good deal otherwise £££ for what it is!
