    There is nothing else around here, so your only choice for food or drink is The Joiners Arms, which limits options. If you want a beer at the Garden Rooms, £20 for 4 bottles of Heineken! Make use of the mini fridge for your own drinks.

    Stunning room with everything you'd need. There is a mini fridge and iron in the room which was ideal. Hot tub was great, especially with the little table beside it. Paid for the addtional cocktail kit, which went down a treat.

    The bed although comfortable in the standard accommodation is in the small side so be aware if you're used to more space

    The quirky accommodation is close to fabulous beaches and The Joiners Arms for breakfast and dinner is superb. Lovely little gift box for the dog was a nice touch

    We asked if there was anything extra that could be done to acknowledge we were celebrating a birthday and we received confirmation that this was added to the booking which was a lovely surprise as a lot of places won’t, but when we arrived nothing had been done and this didn’t change during our 2 night stay either. Property was not as private as photos make it appear, we knew we had a shared entrance and this was ultimately fine but even the upgraded cabins with hot tubs we could see straight into when walking past and all rooms were very close together overall so I’m glad we didn’t upgrade as feel it would have been wasted money. Shower allowed a lot of water to run out of it so floor was wet within minutes of use and bath mat was soaking wet. It was difficult to get a drink/snacks in the evening unless you walked across courtyard to the bar (weather was awful so not ideal). The weather seal had gone in the patio doors so the bottom of the curtains had mould growing on them and the doors into the room itself weren’t fitted very well. The walk to the local pub for food was through a caravan site that didn’t look the nicest considering the outward portrayal of the location/Manor House etc. The floor was dirty and seemed as if it needed a good hoover/sweep. Our feet were covered in dirt the moment we took our shoes off and this was after the staff had been in and emptied our bins so we’d have expected things to be cleaned.

    Looked lovely on initial arrival and bed was comfy. Food at the local pub down the road which is partnered with the property was lovely and staff very attentive.

    there was mold all along the door and curtains. wifi was not very good. it’s in the middle of nowhere’s there’s nothing close by, the local pub ‘joiners arms’ was awful! very rude staff and was very crammed even though we booked in advance, and the menu was very expensive and limited, we had to leave. you get a breakfast included in the price from joiners arms but this was not nice and we waited 35mins to be served with out breakfast as their was only one member of staff. lack of resources, would have liked a decent sized fridge. there’s no activities or walk ways near.. i’d say expensive for what you get.

    lovely interior and design, private space outside was lovely! and the hot tub was nice.

    Being really picky, didn't have enough complimentary milk for more than two cups of tea

    Went for our 10th wedding anniversary after getting married at Newton hall, lucky the hall had an event on later thst day, we asked if we could have a drink at the hall and have a look round, staff accommodated this, really made our day, we will be going back, such a special place

    its pretty hard to find anything we didn't like if i had to be picky the gravel path to the garden room made it a little difficult to pull a case along, neighbours in the garden room next door were very noisy which was a bit of a shame as we were sat outside and they had the tv on so loud with the doors open we could hear every word.

    really nice accommodation, everything you could need was in the room, loved the hot tub and was great to have the chiminea with provided wood to be able to sit outside at night.

    There is nothing to really dislike about the property it self. I had to pay a large amount more to upgrade the stay to move our date which was annoying. Breakfast was also a little disappointing at the Joiners pub. There was not much left in the continental breakfast options and when asked what I would like on my breakfast I was told I could only have fried egg as this was the only thing the chef was putting on sandwiches (however the menu said your choice of eggs) which seemed a little strange. The meal the night before from Joiners was very tasty but very pricey for the portion size!

    Wow…to put this into one word. The accommodation is incredible! Very modern and spotlessly clean. The hot tub made our entire trip- we sat in our perfectly warm tub late at night with a clear night sky- absolute bliss…

    More sign posting would be good; high visibility cabin numbers and on the walk to the Joiners Arms for breakfast. And the path thru the site to the Hall for weddings isnt heel friendly at all. Likewise the path to their pub isn’t lit and suited only sturdy footwear.

    Lovely rooms. We had a family room with king size and bunk beds, large walk in shower, microwave, fridge, kitchen essentials Outside was a hot tub and chiminea.

    Only issue was we paid extra for the ‘ultimate double room’ but really it was just 2 beds pushed together, so there was a small uncomfortable gap in the middle of the bed.

    Perfect for a few days getaway. Breakfast was amazing with plenty to choose from (and included in the price!), our room was spotless and staff were really helpful. It snowed the majority of our trip so the hot tub was a lovely addition too!

    The hot tub was cold when we arrived, informed a few members of staff throughout the day, two men came out to see but nothing got done, said it had just been emptied and filled back up, managed to get in it for around an hour at 9pm as it was too cold. It was the main reason for booking, did also say to the staff member whilst checking out, an apology was unfortunately all we could get at that point.

    The room was amazing, good location, private, just along from a nice pub, and brekkie delivered in the morning too
