“Beautiful Hotel!”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

My wife and daughter (8 years old) stayed at this hotel for 3 nights at the start of half term. We were blessed with perfect sunny weather which helped show off the grounds and setting at its best. First the family room in the courtyard was huge and has been beautifully presented as part of their circa £1.5M refit earlier... More

“Bad experience !”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

Having previously checked availability for lunch at their brasserie and made a firm booking, my wife and I were extremely disappointed that we were unable to get into the brasserie upon arrival. It had been explained that the main area was being set up for a wedding the following day, but the bar area would be available. Clearly staff were... More

Many thanks for your review. I am mortified that you experienced such lack of attention. We pride ourselves on our ability to ensure an excellent guest experience on a consistent basis, but we have clearly failed on this occasion. Obviously with any Wedding there needs to be a period of preparation, however what is concerning is that you were able... More

“Lovely hotel but not attentive”

My hubby and I came to hotel for 2 nights to attend s wedding there. When we arrived no one could be found for us to check in? It took us half an hour wandering around to eventually find someone . Also we tried ringing reception to ask for milk in our room but could never get a reply. Nice... More

We felt that the price. £90... More

“An Exquisite Hotel with Excellent Staff and Service”

Reviewed 24 May 2013

We have just returned from a weekend break at the Highbullen, and are local to the area and no strangers to the hotel (my sister and brother-in-law married there). We booked this for my husband's birthday as a treat for him, as well as for myself, and from arrival to departure we couldn't have had a better experience. The surroundings... More
