    Fantastic overnight stay following a day at Woodland Spa 🌸 Only some minor issues during the stay but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently - and they couldn’t do enough to help! The rooms potentially could do with some TLC but the bed was really comfy and there was everything we needed (kindly brought us an iron and ironing board)! The evening food was absolutely fantastic and we would absolutely come again - the lasagne is amazing and big enough to share too! 🍹 Shaun (makes a fabulous peach sangria!!!) and Ethan both looked after us really well and made us feel really comfortable! Really chatty and polite.. went above and beyond and are a credit to the team! Thank you so much again for a lovely stay! 🥂

    Great staff, the staff behind the bar were very friendly, so we stayed another night! Food was great and the breakfast was superb. Thanks to Sean and Hope for being taking care of us during our stay as well as the waiters!
