, United Kingdom

“The nature with the walks was absolutely stunning. I liked the outdoor activities (thanks for our excellent nature guide!).”

, Finland

“Beautiful location, excellent for a short pampered stay. Tianaan (guide) was excellent enthusiastic and knowledgeable.”

, United Kingdom

“Friendly staff and fantastic facilities - a truly relaxing experience.”

, Switzerland

“Stay in Forest Lodge if you are a couple with no children - there are some children but only a few, as the Forest 1 bedroom lodges are mainly suited to couples. Families generally stay in Garden Lodge. We hadn't realised this when we booked - but the hotel proactively upgraded us to Forest Lodge upon arrival (it was Easter and lots of families)!”

, United Kingdom

“Very nice and quite place for relaxing and i will visit again”

, Saudi Arabia

“Absolutely superb from the moment we were met in the Car Park to the moment we left. Would happily score it 11 out of 10. Brilliant outings with excellent and informative guides. Magical.”

, United Kingdom

“The whole experience was great. Our room and bathroom had a stunning view. All meals were delicious. The trips were great fun.”

, United Kingdom

“This is a place where the staff always tries to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The activities they organize are made to measure if necessary. Highlight for us was the wine tasting + dinner in the wine cellar of the Forest Lodge. It was a pleasant and high quality experience, especially because of the quality of the food and wine paring (compliments to the cook and the sommelier) and the know how of the sommelier and the one who organized all this (Jono)”
