"The room was exceptional, having a door that led out to a small patio , which proved convenient for our dog , with easy access to the beautiful grounds."

My stay at Craxton Wood was quite enjoyable overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the leisure facilities were impressive, particularly the gym and swimming pool. However, I did find the dining options in the restaurant to be on the pricier side and the food quality inconsistent. Additionally, while the amenities were excellent, the lack of air conditioning and some dated furnishings in the room were drawbacks to consider.
