"What an amazing break we've had at The Fish. We stayed in the lovely Lancaster cottage overlooking miles of beautiful scenery and are only sorry we didn't bring the dogs along! The staff are simply amazing. From our arrival at reception through to check out and all in between (bar staff, restaurant staff, activity coordinator, who we bumped into on a walk who gave us a brief history on the place), all clearly love working at this idyllic spot. Amazing food in Hook last night and super breakfast this morning. If you want a relaxed bit of luxury away from home this place is it. No pressure, extremely quiet, clean and bright, a true gem. Thankyou to all the staff we came across you made our special break extra special and we look forward to returning soon."

"As a dog-owner with a fair amount of experience of staying at 'dog-friendly' hotels across the UK, I feel qualified to make this statement: The Fish is by far the best dog-friendly hotel I've ever stayed at. We were met at the door by Katie, who was super-efficient and friendly and had us checked-in with the room key in my hand and information about all the facilities within 5 minutes. This included directions to our room, the bar, the restaurant, the boot room, the lounge, and what the best local walk was. There's plenty of parking at the various buildings that comprise the hotel complex. The room itself (in The Stables block) was perfectly decent. A king-sized bed, TV, solid WiFi, tea/coffee/water right there, a card for the wine machine down the hall (preloaded with a complimentary glass each), sweeties in jars outside, and all clean and fresh. Bathroom toiletries not from the dull Molton Brown collection you see everywhere but instead a variety of unguents from another brand I've forgotten, but all very pleasant. Our dog had her own bed waiting, with a towel and toy, food/water bowls, a scrummy treat, and tennis balls aplenty. Outside was a bath and agility area. Dogs are allowed EVERYWHERE except the restaurant - which is fine because... The bar and lounge areas are exceptionally comfortable - both for us and the hound (plump floor cushions and VetBeds aplenty for princes and princesses alike). Eating from the restaurant menu in the bar area was entirely acceptable - some hotels banish owners and their dogs to dark uncomfortable corners and treat them as second-class diners. Not so here. The bar was well-stocked and well-run - good prosecco was provided when requested, and they knew how to mix a whisky sour. The wine cellar was varied and priced reasonably - both reds and whites were entirely palatable. And the food... dinner on the first night was London West End quality (I know because I live there). I've eaten lesser food in celebrity-chef restaurants, and paid more money for it. Breakfast the following morning was a Full English and absolutely nailed it. The second night was a replica of the first - excellent dishes prepared perfectly and served with a smile. Wines by the glass or caraffe. Post-meal digestivos (a cocktail for me, prosecco for her) provided from the bar to the comfy chairs we'd decamped to. The country and woodland walks around the 500-acre estate are well marked, graded by difficulty/distance, and thoroughly enjoyable for both 2 and 4 legs. There's a lake, bee meadows, some wildlife (sheep in neighbouring fields, deer roaming occasionally) and stunning views. One minor niggle with the room: the aircon controls were locked, so the room was a little too cool overnight for her. We asked for, and got, an extra blanket for the second night, and it transpired that there's a combi cooler/heater fan tucked in a cupboard. The dog and I were fine though, so it's only those who are sensitive to the chillier night temperatures of early Spring who might need the additional warmth. I don't think I've ever rated a hotel as a 10/10, but The Fish deserves it - even with the little room temperature problem. It's not the cheapest hotel, but also not the most expensive, and if you're looking for a slice of perfection for yourself and your pooch, it's worth every penny. We've already booked our next stay here."

"We stayed here in one of the Hilly Huts and had an amazing time. The Hotel is absolutely beautiful, the attention to detail is another level. The staff are all very friendly and super helpful. The food was beautiful, we did experience over our stay Breakfast, Lunch and Diner. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone."

"Beautiful hotel and estate. Went for my birthday and all the staff were extremely attentive and the facilities were in excellent condition. Food and amenities als . Beau"

"Wow!!! Just got home from an unbelievable, amazing and relaxing night away. We stayed in the Fairy hideaway which was magical. From the minute you arrive it’s like you are the only people there, everything is personal and the staff cannot do enough for you. They have thought of EVERY detail possible to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The food in the Hook restaurant is stunning, we had dinner and the food and ambience is fantastic. Breakfast is also 5 star, you honestly cannot ask for more. There is free EV charging and nothing is too much trouble. This is an absolute gem of a hotel where I cannot criticise 1 thing! My only regret was I didn’t stay longer because this was a pure escape from reality, from watching the starts from your bed and all you can hear is birds chirping. Book this hotel, you will not be disappointed."
