July 2024

Breakfast was super and lots of choice from freshly cooked dishes. The setting (sunny morning) for the breakfast terrace (golf club house) was stunning. We ate also at the restaurant (Auberge du Lac)across the lake , a very memorable experience for all the right reasons (albeit not cheap - but worth it for an evening)...in all the stay was the quintessentially the perfect location for the weekend getaway.

the golf club bar could have been open a little later (for a Saturday night- think it closed at 20:00ish)..not that i used it in the evening (as we dined at the Auberge) but it might not be to liking over eveyone...

Lovely room in a middle of the golf. Old and Stylish room with a nice bathroom. Quiet place good for a rest after a long day

Very much lacking direction. Access is not that easy and I got lost on my arrival because it was dark. No clear sign for reception and accommodation but the staff was very helpful. Unfortunately the bar was closed when I came, which was not great.

Lovely green location. The room was very comfortable especially the bed. A little dated but still wonderful. The tea and coffee making facilities were good and I was provided with extras when I ashed. The bathroom was very comfortable with twin sinks, a fabulous bath and lovely bathroom products. Bath robes were also provided. Plenty of wardrobe space.

There is no fridge or safe in the room.

Rooms are spacious and set away from the main building, very quiet and peaceful, very comfortable. Beautiful grounds and we had a lovely view from the room.

TV didn't work in our room, was told someone was coming to fix it after 30 minutes and a no show I had to ask to be moved to another room. Some of the fixtures and fittings need fixing and updating.

Beautiful location with gorgeous views across the lake and beyond. Stayed at Brockett Hall with my mum for her birthday, as this is where she was born when it was a maternity hospital during the second world war. The room in Melbourne Lodge was lovely and spacious and nicely decorated with a huge bathroom. Reception staff were brilliant. Friendly and very helpful.

The only unfortunate thing about this trip was that we were unable to go into the actual hall where my mum was born, as there was a film crew there. Very disappointed even though the reception team did try their best to see if this could be made possible.

Location was fabulous. Room wonderful with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast excellent and the grounds are just wonderful to walk around.

We stayed on a Tuesday evening so the main restaurant was closed. The only other restaurant on site was the golf club but strangely the kitchen closes at 6pm - we only arrived at that time so had missed the opportunity to dine there so had to find somewhere outside of the hotel grounds which was disappointing. Same with the bar - it closed at 8pm so although we absolutely loved it - just consider what is important to you before booking depending on what day of the week it is.

Peaceful setting, just what we hoped when it was booked.

Could have done with a little more info in the room. Where we could go/is there anywhere in the grounds we could walk/what was included at breakfast.

Awesome location. Ability to freely walk around the large and beautiful grounds.

Some facilities are a bit dated (e.g. bidet in the bathroom did not work, and one of the taps was a bit "temperamental"), but it arguably adds to the charm of the property a bit

A beautiful place with helpful staff. Delicious breakfast friendly service.

Very very little to dislike. It was a very hot day and the room was hot. One of the curtains did not pull properly.
