We really enjoyed our stay here for two nights. The staff are fantastically friendly, rooms are very clean, spacious, with a nice little terrace table and chairs accessed throufg full width patio doors, making the room light and airy. Comfy sofa.Food in the restaurant is a good standard, with generous portions. Breakfast is very good.My mum who uses a wheeler was able to access her ground floor room easily straight up a ramp from the car park, although this is gravel to get across to the restaurant, which is a little tricky. She didn't have a disabled room as such, and some elements were a little hard for her - plug heights, no walk in shower - but the room was not offered as disabled access, and she enjoyed her stay.I have stayed in a lot of smart hotels over the years, and would absolutely come here again, and recommend to others.

My wife and I stayed and ate here for our wedding anniversary. I honestly can’t fault anything. The room was lovely, the restaurant was modern and comfortable, food was excellent and the staff were first class. Highly recommended for staying or just eating

We happily spent 3 nights at The Hollies. It was quiet, clean, comfortable, helpful, friendly and value for money. |Breakfast and dinner were good, wifi and parking free. |Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the appealing outdoor space because of the wintry June weather. |The location is remote, so a car is essential.

Hugely overpriced.I was expecting a lot more for £310 per night at the 2 bedroom apartment. The bedrooms are extremely tired and more akin to what I've stayed in during a £50 per night stag weekend hotel in Blackpool. Carpets are old, dormer blinds don't work (kids were awake from 0500 due to daylight streaming in), TVs are fixed flat to the wall (perpendicularto the bed), meaning you can't watch them from bed!! And the chest of drawers is in the wardrobe meaning not only can you not get to it but also that there is insufficient space for clothes to hang freely.The downstairs apartment area was modern and good.Breakfast is good. Dinner is average to good.Billing is disappointing : I ended up with other guests food and 3 rounds of drinks on my bill, when we didn't put any drinks on our room, but I ended up paying to ease the stress of chasing down other wedding guests. Bar staff need to be a lot sharper on checking rooms for drinks!!All in all: disappointing and not recommended for an enjoyable weekend away, and certainly not at the prices advertised

This was one of the hotels on the wedding invitation we received and I am so glad we choose this hotel. The staff cannot do enough for you and the restaurant is amazing. Breakfast in the morning was full of wonder choices and if not in the menu they were happy to accommodate with what you wanted. ||Highly highly recommend this hotel.

Non-stop excellence from start of our stay to the end. |The hotel is close to the A303 and yet gets no detectable noise from it, being deep inside a small picturesque village. Comfort and cleanliness of the room was first rate. …

4 of us ate in the bar although we were offered space in the restaurant. Pretty busy evening. Great service from Lydia and Bea in particular. We’re local and previously it wasn’t so welcoming but seems to have changed. Very good quality food and service good too. We’ll be back!
