    Very enjoyable - Downton Lodge is a perfect base for exploring the Marches.

    Both were great.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    Short break somewhere different

    Rooms clean & comfortable. EV charging was free. Personalised note at breakfast was a nice touch.

    Breakfast buffet limited, but lovely. Breakfast area a little mortuary ish, with evening lounge music playing?? - pretty depressing. Reception should be front & centre not beyond the sitting area & initial welcome not that warm or friendly. We didn't realise this is a restaurant with rooms 1st & not a hotel

    We left with a huge smile on our faces.

    We were welcomed from the first moment we arrived and throughout our stay. We cannot praise the hotel staff highly enough. The food (and wine) was superb. The accommodation was a delight. Thank you for giving us a wonderful, relaxing time. We will be back.
