The Higher Trapp Hotel was lovely. The staff were friendly, the rooms were very clean and comfy and the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was very good! I'd stay here again if in the area.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent evening meal. Not very convenient to go to dinner _ access to the bar/restaurant was outside and the weather is not always good.
I think I would sum up the property as "tired elegance"! staff were very helpful and charming and the food was excellent. It must have been a very grand house at one time - I didn't have a chance to explore outside. It has been 7 years since I visited it last for a funeral wake.
Had surprise 80 th birthday party for a good friend . Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Breakfast was amazing, cooked fresh so much nicer.

Olde Worlde charm, sumptuous wood panelled lounge, bar and nice restaurant with good food.
Some aspects a little dated and could benefit from an upgrade.
My nephew married here so a full day, night and stop over at this beautiful hotel, it was absolutely magical, what an absolute beautiful venue, the staff where all absolutely friendly, helpful, and professional in all areas of the day. What an amazing day.
I stayed here for 4 nights and during the 2nd night there was an issue with the room, and I wanted to change rooms, Millie on reception was very understanding and helpful and sorted me another room out immediately in the lodge for the rest of my stay, I can’t praise her enough for this
The food was good and the other staff were friendly and polite
We booked two rooms for a weekend wedding. The rooms were located on a separate building that we had to walk to down hill or through muddy grass. The two rooms are very outdated and not as clean as we expected. There were loads of spiderwebs and dead both live and dead spiders at the entrance and in the bedrooms. The bathroom had mould and the shower dripped all day and night. The walls are also super thin and we could hear phones vibrating and doors being slammed all around. We also had no choice in weather or not we wanted housekeeping. There was no sign to put on the door so we were surprised to find someone had been in our rooms without our consent.
Rooms given were no where near what is advertised on Expedia.
The service and staff were fantastic though.
We had an amazing stay once again for our 1st wedding anniversary. Big shout out to Georgia and Megan. They are a great asset to the Higher Trapp Hotel xx
Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable with towels changed every day. A thoroughly relaxed stay, with great breakfast, which allowed me to concentrate on my business trip - not something I can always say!
