The hotel is well resourced and has decent facilities and dining options, the rooms were modern and well presented. We did have an issue with the TV and shower draining very slowly (which we reported) but otherwise we were very happy with our stay. The reason for not giving them a 4 star and not a 5 star is that the corridors were very dated and could do with a refreshed look. I also think they could have a communal TV in the lounge area. The staff were helpful throughout so full marks there :)

From arriving at the hotel to leaving all staff members we met or passed were happy and friendly. Highlight of our stay was the lovely room overlooking the golf course and not forgetting the most luxurious bed! Both receptionist on check in and check out were super friendly and interested as to how our stay and break was. Also need to mention Ryan who was on the bar on Saturday night what a lovely young man. My husband enjoyed two golf sessions over the weekend with our son which they both thoroughly enjoyed it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel and yes, we will definitely be back. We didn’t get to use the spa facilities as we were visiting friends in the area. But on our list for next time.

Our second stay here and was given a beautiful room lovely and clean. Loved being able to park the car and use the leisure facilities and walk in the beautiful gardens down to the river. Some walks involve more challenging terrain but well worth the effort to see places on the river. Service was excellent and breakfast was plentiful with great choice.

The room was fantastic. Dining and bar areas very stylish and comfortable. Extensive grounds(65 acres) are very beautiful. Some of the leisure areas starting to look a little in need of refurbishment. Overall though, a relaxing, quiet and restful place to stay.

Lovely stay but needs updating
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Service was amazing, dinner was delicious and our room was very comfortable and modern. However, the corridors looked very outdated, the spa area was also very tired looking (and had carpet around the pool which was stained in places) and the bathrobes in the rooms could be replaced. Cooked breakfast was also delicious, but the cold selection was limited - maybe some more continental and fresh fruit would be good. Overall we had a lovely stay but it didn't feel the 5* expense that it was.

Lovely refurbished room offered to us as an upgrade. Really nice! The green areas are amazing, except that at this time of the year there was little water at the river. The swimming pool and some other areas still need a refurbishment but were still ok and very clean. The service from everyone was superb.

Quiet hotel
Very good. However you need to advise front desk if going out in evening. We went to Falmouth for supper on Friday and arrived back at 10pm. No one other than reception there. We advised desk and came back on Saturday at just after midnight and got key from night porter. May be useful if you do not want a quiet stay . Everyone very friendly and helpful.

One of the best hotels I visited. Amazing river and garden, golf and really nice pool. But the best thing we’re the staff. From breakfast to dinner or drinks at the bar, they were so nice and welcoming and the food was delicious. We stayed in the signature room and it’s very big and has a very comfortable bed. Very recommended for families.
