The trip to Croydon Hall was a Christmas present and included the Golden Retriever experience. The Hotel is in a wonderful location surrounded by countryside and looks pretty impressive when you first arrive. Check in was welcoming and reception staff were helpful. The room was huge and immaculate. Whilst the decor was not entirely to my taste I can definitely appreciate what the owner has done here with all the themed rooms. The Bathroom was beautifully decorated and whilst I didn't actually take a bath I can imagine it would be quite an experience lay there looking out over the countryside with a large glass of wine. We ate in the restaurant and the food we had was good, really tasty and plenty of it. My only criticism was the menu was a little bit limited, but as I said the quality was good and so was the wine. Breakfast was exceptional both mornings and Service in the bar and restaurant was great. There are lots of places close by to visit, make sure you head to Dunster Castle, well worth it even on a rainy day in January. Having lost my Golden Retriever in May 2022 the Golden retriever experience was amazing, both a slightly sad and joyous experience all at the same time. A few hours fussing and being fussed by 20 odd Goldies of all shapes, sizes, ages and personalities left a lasting impression on me, it makes me smile every time I think about it. Well done to everyone who is involved in planning and delivering this experience, I hope you know just how happy you make people. If it hadn't been for the golden retriever experience we may have never discovered Croydon Hall, but I'm so glad we did. It's a hotel with character, in beautiful surroundings with some great staff who really do look after you.
