My wife and I stayed at Simonstone for 5 nights. From the time we walked in we fell in love with it. We were greeted by Jo, who greeted us by name before we said a word. We were just getting over food poisoning and asked her if we could check in early as we were still not feeling well. Jo took us to the drawing room to wait and offered us tea or coffee. We were then greeted by Connor, who after learning we weren’t feeling well offered us soup from the restaurant. The only thing my wife felt like eating was mashed potatoes, which was not on the menu. But, Connor checked with the chef who made them special for her (thanks, John!) Jo was able to check us in early and the room was one of the most beautiful we have ever stayed in. It had modern amenities, but kept the old charm. The views were unmatched. We woke up every morning to the sound of sheep and the peacocks who lived outside the hotel. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. Both Connor and Dan knew exactly what we wanted every morning. We ate dinner twice at the restaurant and food was fabulous. We met the head chef, John, who even offered to cook us special seafood dinners if we preferred something not on the menu. The experience could not have been any better. The hotel and location are perfect. We are already planning our trip back next year. Thank you Jo, Connor, John and Dan!
