My stay at the hotel was cozy and convenient. The rooms were nice, comfortable, and clean, although a bit too warm for my liking even with the aircon on. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a memorable experience. The location was lovely, offering panoramic views and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the dining experience had some ups and downs. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor hiccups.

The hotel's rooms were very big, clean, and quiet, although a bit dated and overpriced for what they offered. Sitting in the atrium could be a drawback, but the service was polite and attentive. The location is stunning with simple touches, although a bit small for the number of guests. The dining experience was a mix of wonderful continental and ordered food but may lack attentive service at times. Facilities were generally good. A champagne reception might interrupt your relaxation, and the best spa hotels recommendation might set overly high expectations.

My stay at the hotel was excellent with super comfortable beds, a luxurious shower, beautiful views, and our very own Nespresso machine in the room. The air conditioning was a bit useless, but overall the room was clean, comfortable, and a good size with wonderful countryside views. The bathroom was excellent. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions, and the hotel itself offered fine views of Cheltenham racecourse and the surrounding countryside. However, the dining experience was not as expected, with some service issues during breakfast.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with large four-poster beds, but the music from the bar below could be heard in the rooms all evening. The service, while helpful, seemed a bit disorganized at times. The grounds are delightful, with views of Cheltenham racecourse, but the lack of sanitization between clients was concerning. The dining experience was satisfactory, although the breakfast was not exceptional.
