Spicers Hidden Vale

The homestead which houses the reception, bar and dining area is stunning. A beautiful free standing stone fireplace is surrounded by comfy sofas to snuggle into. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was well presented and delicious with care taken to meet dietary needs. Great activity options, we did archery, scotch tasting and the market garden tour.

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely food bedroom and lovely staff . Poor lighting from dining area to apartment.

Very relaxing place to stay food is great & staff are extremely friendly.

We had a lovely overnight stay, with a delicious breakfast included.

Wonderful experience - everything about this stay was sensational....

Wow wow wow what a place 5 star all the way from arrival to departure the lodge was excellent with all that you need for a stay bed was so comfy all staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, the food was above standard and location was impeccable thank you for such a memorable stay

Just wonderful. Just enjoyed the most relaxing night away to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Rooms , staff and food are exceptional.

We booked the 2 bedroom suite for our stay, being three friends we found the suite to be nicely decorated and cosy. We had a small sitting area included in the suite with two arm chairs and a window seat, this was lovely but it would have been nice to have a TV included in this area or a small fireplace as I know the 2 bedroom cottages have this. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and given complementary Prosecco in the bar area. One of the team members - Sebastian was our favourite host for our 2 night stay & ensured we were well looked after. We especially enjoyed the Garden Market tour where the Chef took us around the produce being grown for their paddock to plate experience. Plus the cheese and wine experience where Sebastian showcased three local wines with matched cheese was fun and light hearted. We loved to sit around the outdoor fire pit wrapped in warm fluffy blankets in the early evening before dinner, we were very well taken care of and all the staff were very attentive. The breakfast was offered via menu, not a buffet style and took a little while, so be prepared to sit leisurely and look out to the beautiful scenery. We spent the day reading books by the pool and in the hot spa, you can order drinks to be delivered to you or to your room. Dinner was included in our package and we enjoyed the three-courses, knowing most of the ingredients had been handpicked form their garden was a great touch. I will definitely return, perhaps trying another Spicer’s Retreat now knowing how the service and quality is.

We had an excellent dinner on Thursday at the Supper Club. Loved cozy setting and really enjoyed the friendly service and great food. Will definitely be visiting this hidden gem again for the next one!
