Welcomed with a friendly smile and a complimentary drink. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. We were asked if we wanted our luggage taking to our room, we declined and opted to take it ourselves. Bad mistake! Finding the room turned into an impossible task, we had to ask for help. There were doors and stairs everywhere but unfortunately, not many signs or directions.
Apart from this initial mistake, we had a fabulous two night stay. The staff couldn't do enough for you. The service was excellent and the hall was spectacular. The food was cooked to perfection at breakfast and dinner times. We're pescatarians and meals were easily altered to our requirements when they contained meat.
The spa was heavenly and the massages we had were sublime!
We went on a short walk to the lake following a route given to us at reception. The only mishap was the route didn't mention that we were OK to enter private grounds at a gate that was locked after crossing the road after the bridge. We entered through a gap in the hedge. This aside the scenery around and across the lake was spectacular. The grounds are very well maintained and we even came across pigs near the wildlife park.
All told, we had an excellent break and it made celebrating my 60th birthday a memorable occasion
