Lovely hotel, grounds and food
It’s a beautiful hotel with a lovely pool/spa area too. We stayed in a Treehouse Room which was lovely but 3 floors was a bit of a pain, wouldn’t stay in that room type again but happily at the hotel. Food and drink was also excellent.

Everything was excellent - from our room to the spa facilities. The breakfast was delicious - particularly the pastries! The only thing I would have liked would have been a friendlier check in. We were handed our keys with no introduction to the hotel, where to find what or when breakfast was. Apart from that - a great weekend was had!

A great stay in a wonderful place. The setting was lovely and the food brilliant. The spa was great too - but it was a shame that the staff seemed so inexperienced / unaware of how the systems worked there. Apart from this frustration, everything else was brilliant.

I can see why Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland here , it is an absolutely enchanting place . From the minute we arrived the staff were so lovely , it was my birthday and they really went the extra mile to make it very special. The room was stunning , very kind personal touches , spa was just so zen , food was fantastic , breakfast and service was particularly superb , loved the games room and went for lovely country walks. For the 3 days we were there the service was consistently great , staff were engaging and I’m already looking at when we can return. Thank you Cowley team for the best birthday !

The most comfortable nights sleep in the most beautiful, quirky hotel room. The hotel itself is stunning, set in expansive, landscaped grounds with ample communal spaces. The food in the restaurant was delicious, service impeccable and attention to detail really impressive. At check in, George was welcoming, friendly, professional and pleasant. He set the tone for a fabulous, relaxing stay.
