We particularly enjoyed the peaceful setting with ducks quacking and the opportunity to unwind and relax during our stay. Breakfast was a buffet with other options available at a supplement, more than adequate. We both enjoyed our dishes served for dinner and thought that the portions were very generous.

- During our stay it appeared that staffing levels were quite stretched. It wasn’t a one off as this also happened when we visited a few years ago. Tables in the dining areas were left uncleared for long periods, we had our lunch on the terrace and we witnessed tables not being cleared for ages, which detracted from the overall experience. The staff we encountered were friendly, but they seemed extremely busy and there did not appear to be enough of them to maintain the standards we would have expected. Beers/cider listed on the drinks menu were not available during our stay, with staff advising they may not be serving them in the future. Wine & Spirits were readily available. We witnessed another guest ordering an uber delivery and drinking their own wine on the sun lounger, not in keeping with the Champneys brand.

+ The spa facilities were very good and it’s in a peaceful location.
− The breakfast was very basic and bland, offering only healthy options like turkey bacon and chicken sausages. (Not for me) Lack of cups and plates at breakfast too, people constantly wanting for more to be cleaned and restocked. For a healthy/fitness hotel the gym is not up to scratch, on par with an airport hotel gym.
