Stayed recently with other family members and had a most enjoyable time at the Park Hotel.We enjoyed lovely light lunch on arrival in lounge area and excellent dinner that night in main dining room. All the staff we encountered were friendly and most helpful. Excellent pool and sauna facility. Look forward to return visit and hopefully with better weather will get in a full round of golf at adjoining golf course. A big thank you to all the team!

Thanks to the new owner Bryan who has created an atmosphere that you feel you are visiting the home of a thoughtful host rather than a paying guest. I know previous review mentions revamp noise and maybe we were lucky it's didn't impact our stay and we were there for one night to celebrate my birthday. I found it peaceful there and the staff friendly and welcoming. I did the Art tour of all the artwork in the hotel which was great and purchased the book that details the artwork so I can revisit now I'm home. Complimentary tea and cake at 4pm in the lounge.relaxing piano playing and access to record player to play some tunes.Will return and stay longer.Thanks to Leo Linda and Johnathan for your hospitality.

If you want to stay in a building site this is your hotel……. Our room looked out unto a building site in which we were informed that the hotel was under some winter upgrade…. We went for an afternoon rest to the sound a jackhammer, wonderful, we were staying for three nights, such a mistake. We filled in the review which was left in our room & I gave to reception before check out. The manager who interacted with the couple who checked out before us quickly disappeared……… would I recommend this hotel - NO

I stayed here for five nights over Christmas with friends and family—and it was the perfect holiday setting. The views were stunning—rolling green hills and water wrapped by incredible trail options. Close (1min walking distance) yet so secluded you wouldn’t even know it was there if you were strolling by. Our room was warm—spacious—and beautifully designed—elegant but comfortable. The bed was incredibly cozy—and the festive décor throughout the hotel made everything feel magical without being overdone. AMAZING PILLOWS & OUTLET/CHARGING OPTIONS The food was Michelin star/Tasting Menu worthy, the options are accommodating to all. Breakfast each morning was fresh and generous—and Christmas dinner felt genuinely special. Evenings in the bar by the fire—with great cocktails and occasional live music—were a highlight. The staff was ridiculously accommodating and enthusiastic. perfectly attentive without hovering. may be the best service i’ve ever had across the board What really made the stay—though—was the service. The staff were warm—attentive—and thoughtful in a way that felt natural—not forced. By the end of the trip—I didn’t want to leave. I’d absolutely return. The Negative: Apparently there is a new owner (company) who owns it and has changed (could be in the process of making more changes) from classic decor and art to modern art & decor. This is in stark contrast to the ambience of the entire stay and feel and kind if sticks out like a sore thimb—very distracting and unappealing.
