We were married at Linthwaite in September 2025 and wanted to return there. We sampled the fabulous afternoon tea and dinner in the bar, had an overnight stay in the sumptuous Loft Suite and had an equally lovely breakfast in Henrock the following morning. Again all credit is due to Karen, Jasmine and the rest of the exceptional team there. Thank you for giving us a memorable stay which was truly perfect

Throughout this impeccably clean property, the interior is intricately designed with elegant décor that exudes lavish ambiance, while the exterior landscape is pristine and beautifully manicured. It is indeed a five-star hotel with atmosphere of luxury and refinement. The most remarkable quality that sets it apart from others is the impressive team that’s led by Karen. She is noticeably present alongside her outstanding team, exemplifying exceptional service with expertise, support, and encouragement. Karen’s leadership is evident in every interaction and every detail, and the culture of excellence she has cultivated shines through in each member of her outstanding team. The sparkling jewels in Karen’s tiara are Tim, Jasmine, Lucian, Alessandro, Jenna, Peppe, Alfonso, Chris, Victor, Leigh, Kamil and Ollie as they are incredibly attentive, caring, understanding, responsive and resourceful and go above and beyond to provide best service to the guests.

What a great afternoon tea Oliver guided my friend to the hotel,after her sat nav failed After giving her a strong coffee to calm her stress I had a virgin mary,which was spicy and yummy. All our dietaries were perfectly observed. Even ensuring the plates were separate a good touch The savouries were fabulous the highlight was the cheese ball which was morish and so delicious The sandwiches were perfect,salmon,egg/cress and cheese The scones were light and fluffy The cakes were decadent and so tasty. Oliver kept ensuring we had enough coffee and tea.He was super attentive. It was a fantastic way to catch up with a friend,in a relaxing and comfortable environment Thank you for creating some more great memories

A lovely experience for my 50th with friends. When I titled this review as anticipatory service excellence what I mean is that the staff ethos and approach is one of anticipating what you need before you have to ask for it. This makes for a very relaxing and 5 star experience. This level of service is reflected in every staff member we engaged with from the chaps who met us in the car park through reception and bar staff. In fact the Alex the night porter carried this through and really made our night.
