We needed a couple of days break.. the lavender hotel ticked all the box's. Breakfast and dinner were terrific. Cooked to perfection and served by Keith ... The bed was the best ive we've slept in and the cotton bedding was so crisp and clean. (as you'd expect) All in all, a most relaxing break and thoroughly recommended.. Well done ✅

What a fantastic experience we had for our wedding on 10.05.24. Keith and his team surpassed any expectations we had with the total attention to detail and the family atmosphere from all his staff. We had the afternoon tea with BBQ in the evening and the food was awesome and plentiful. Keith keeps a close eye on everything to ensure the day runs smoothly and we cannot recommend them enough. The venue is great and the grounds are absolutely stunning. We will be going back to visit soon
