    That I only stayed one night!

    To be honest, this place is perfect. Never stayed in a place so clean and well thought out. Being a car guy, this place was always going to be good but it blew my expectations and I cannot wait to come back. It’s got such a nice, relaxed vibe to it with so many pleasant staff great places to sit, relax and eat. The entire food menu is incredible, and out outside tipi seating and bar is such a bonus.

    Everything is excellent. My only suggestion would be to upgrade and buy new fans for the bedrooms. The staff were very friendly and sourced another fan for our room as it was very warm

    Staff are always extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. We have stayed a few times now and I’m yet to have a bad experience. Food is great, outside area is amazing.

    Could use an extra fan or two during the summer.

    Very cool place! Arrived late, Zoey and Isaac were kind and welcoming. Isaac opened up the apparel shop so we could get some cool gear, they both chatted with us over a pint whilst cleaning up and shutting down for the night. Left early to catch a flight. Marcus greeted us and offered coffees to go. Super kind!

    The food is really good and the breakfast was so nice. The rooms were clean and modern, the staff were friendly and honestly perfect. The place has a really good vibe and atmosphere, we're by no means car experts but we thought it looked like a fun place to stay - we learned so much from lovely people who took the time to speak to us about their cars and we found ourselves totally sucked in! We'll definitely be back! Also the big tree in the main courtyard is SO beautiful

    Definitely short staffed, they struggled with food and drinks orders taking up to 1.5 hours for food. One server for whole restaurant. It was an event night so maybe why but this could've been planned a bit better. Rooms were very warm and fans provided didn't really help.

    Great venue, food was excellent and atmosphere vibrant. Staff were very friendly. Pillows were very comfy. Even if not into cars it's a great place to visit in a lovely setting. We Loved it!

    If you’re not into cars/bikes, it’s a bit perplexing and I can imagine noisy but all is quiet and relaxing by mid evening.

    We had a evening meal there which was nice but had to wait so long for it coming to the table and the breakfast was same but as it was in with the price of the room it was ok if I had paid for it at full price I wouldn't of been happy we waited a hour for it to come to the table then it was cold. But apart from that we enjoyed the weekend.

    The room was lovely and the car event my grandson loved

    There should be Parking for residents as we had to park at the very end of the car park. As we arrived around 2pm we had had food and drinks and by the time the car park had calmed down around 9pm we couldn't then move the car as we had been drinking. Number of trips to get our belongings could have been made easier. Checking in had to be done by joining the very long que to the bar Bed divan was broken in the family room but this was rectified by giving us a second room as well across the corridor Food area was chaotic and had to go and reserve our own table with the reservation tab from the staffs table which hadnt been placed on a table otherwise we wouldn't have got seated due to it being so busy and then had to find the girl to ask to order food/drinks having waited ages. They maybe need just a couple of extra staff. Little tweaks and could make all the difference.

    Great venue, food,drinks, atmosphere and staff.

    Was unable to get the heating on in the room which left it very cold. Service was slow for food in the evening but was understandable with how busy it was.

    The atmosphere was brilliant. All the artwork around the building inside and out is incredible. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was perfect (dinner and breakfast).
