Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at Broadoaks was nothing short of magical. We were there for a wedding, and the entire experience felt personalized and special, thanks to the impeccable service and attention to detail. The room was lovely, offering a jacuzzi bath which added to the overall luxury. The only minor hiccup was with the bar service during the evening. Overall, I would say it was a fantastic experience worth every penny.
My stay at this charming boutique hotel was truly memorable. The luxurious rooms, complete with spa-style baths, were a real treat after a day of exploring. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional dining experience, especially the four-course dinner that was beyond delightful. The only downside was that the afternoon tea could be easily missed if not scheduled properly, as we nearly did. Nonetheless, I genuinely appreciated the personalized touches that made my stay extra special.
Broadoaks Country House offers an enchanting stay with its old English charm, picturesque surroundings, and exceptional dining experiences. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our special occasion memorable. However, while the evening dining options were exquisite, the afternoon tea could use a touch more attention when it comes to certain desserts. Overall, it’s a beautiful place for a romantic getaway or special celebration.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful setting and attention to personal details. The dining experience was exceptional, with a great selection of meals. While the rooms were lovely, they could use a touch-up in decor. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that we would love to repeat.
Our stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. We found the cabin warm and cozy, and the hot tub was a fantastic touch. However, the dining experience fell short, particularly at breakfast where service was lacking and options were limited. A stunning afternoon tea was marred by some inconsistencies in quality. Overall, while the facilities were delightful, some aspects just didn’t meet the five-star expectations.
