We had a nice stay at Balmer Lawn. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has a country retreat feel to it and isn't too large, giving a lovely independent feel to it. The breakfast was very good. Although the hotel could do nothing about the hot weather, the lack of air conditioning in our room was an unfortunate negative making for an uncomfortable night's sleep (even with the fan provided). The staff had already provided a fan in the room and opened all the windows for us but with a westerly facing room, the afternoon/evening sun was making our room very hot. Overall a nice stay, just a shame that a four star hotel had no air conditioning in the bedrooms.

Professional &personable staff, always happy to help-great location with lovely walks around the forest and local restaurants and pubs-a recommendation would be to take a torch for the walk back from the pub and entering the hotel grounds which was quite dark-had a great Easter stay & visited nearby tourist locations-have stayed there before and would definitely go back-highly recommended

We truly had an amazing stay at Balmers Lawn! We got a really good deal for Easter weekend, and it exceeded expectations on every level. The room was only classified as "standard" yet it was huge, lovely big bathroom, and they had put Easter Craft in the room for the kids. Kids can use the swimming pool in the morning and evening, and we had it to ourselves each morning we went! Food was excellent and the staff just so friendly and helpful, everyone was a pleasure to interact with. We are all desperate to go back!

The staff were great but the room wasn’t ideal. The bed was very uncomfortable, cheap duvet and flat pillows. The new bit of the spa was nice, but probably not worth the extra £30 each, it’s just a sauna, ice and steam. Not terrible but wouldn’t go back.
