  : Peaceful settling
  : Breakfast, no fruit, just juice, more butter, honey crystal just needs more effort and attention.

  : Good to have a basket in your room for the breakfast. The request sheet needed to be clearer to ensure you got what you asked for. Possibly put the next days breakfast sheet in the previous days basket. We had to try to remember the sheet and write our choice on a scrap of paper . Very peaceful and relaxing. No issue with twin beds which I find can often be a problem when booking on line. We had a truly enjoyable stay. With the added bonus of being able to book a treatment before we left on the Monday. Great.
  : Could the person welcoming us into the room flag up that it is not a regular kettle to avoid a watery mess when you find out the hard way! As no one came into your room there was no milk etc for the second day. Could they advise as to how to get this and what times the place is open. Around the back of the building which was our way to our room, it was a little scruffy in appearance as if maintenance work was ongoing . These are small points for the sake of thinking of something.

  : The site is beautiful. Calm and soothing. Lots of birds, plants and fish to rest your eyes on. The bed was really comfortable, and huge. We had coffee and tea making facilities in the room.
  : Breakfast was a little disappointing. The toast was wrapped in aluminium foil so by the time it got to the room is was stodgy and very soft. We also had to keep asking for more butter and jam. An addition of some cheese and an egg would have made it a little more interesting and filling.

  : Beautiful view from the room, lovely breakfast hamper (crossaints and granola, fresh orange juice) peaceful location, great price for a getaway from the hustle and bustle. Gardens are peaceful other than nature sounds which is exactly what you need on a get away retreat, Easy to locate and just enjoy the privacy! Provided with fresh towels and a tea/coffee station in the room. Beautiful to chill in the gardens and wake up to a peaceful view
  : Small damp in the room and blinds very hard to open and shut, bigger cups for coffee machine needed (very small improvements) Prices I would say for spa access as a guest was quite high so we didn't get to use the facilities

  : The general stay, location, facilities, staff, and the comfortability were all absolutely spot on! We thoroughly enjoyed the spa day and making full use of the facilities. The treatments we had were so relaxing, the therapists were lovely and very accommodating. The lunchtime food was beautifully prepared and tasted lovely. We have stayed at Ayurvedic retreats before where the food was traditionally Vedic, so this perfectly matched our expectations. The room was lovely, to be able to see the gardens and pond was a lovely touch and made the stay even more enjoyable. We really loved the gardens, and the fact we could freely wander and sit at our leisure was lovely. The Koi Carp, turtles and other local wildlife made the experience even more enjoyable, and it was lovely to feel so close and connected with nature.
  : The only aspect we were not happy with, and this really is the only thing, was the location presented itself as being able to cater for gluten free. Whilst this was the case for the lunch we had during the spa retreat, this was not the case for breakfast - and we stayed for three nights! I did stipulate in our booking that my partner was gluten free, so I was disappointed that the only option she had for breakfast was granola and fruit juice and she could not enjoy the pastries as I could. For future reference, I would recommend widening the options to ensure this aspect is fully catered for. As I mentioned above, we have stayed at other Ayurvedic locations who were able to fully accommodate this requirement with ease, so there should be no reason why this location could not do that same. If the pastries are bought in, then surely gluten free options could also be ordered? If the produce is prepared in house, then again, seen as gluten free was catered for in the lunches, this should be an easy option for breakfast as well. Considering what we paid to stay, the treatments, and that a specific request was made at booking - based on the locations description - we were disappointed that this was not catered for more broadly. But this was the only aspect we were not completely happy with.

  : The access to the spa facilities to myself is excellent, especially as I have difficulty in walking
  : On the first night, my husband encounters and invasion of wasps into the room. Therefore we had to close the windows and kept them closed for the duration which meant the room was very warm. When I spoke to reception I was so so we should expect this because we live in the countryside! Not the answer I would expect

  : Location was lovely and room was spacious.
  : Breakfast was from around 9am which was too late for someone travelling for work.
