Decent location and value for money
Pros:

Location is good and plenty of parking spaces in the car park.
The room was good size and bed was comfortable, the shower was a total let down as when used on warm setting it was like a trickle and no pressure at all, the pump was coming on and off but hardly made any difference to the shower water pressure.

Cons:

Shower water pressure

Would defiantly not recommend this facility and will not be returning any time soon to Ardoe house
Pros:

The Spa facility

Cons:

the place was very very tired, the carpets were dirty, all the decoration throughout the property was in a very poor and shabby state. the room with a garden view was almost correct if it was not foe the two big overgrown trees completely blocking all view and light coming into the room.. the evening dinner menu was very poor with little choice, choice was like a pub food menu. when we finally got our food it was not very hot. we chose wine from the menu three attempts before we got one that was in stock. Breakfast was a buffet unfortunately all food on this choice was not very hot and presented very poorly.

Loved the location. Enjoyed the room. Didn’t like the food.
Pros:

Grounds are beautiful. There is also a gym spa on the property. Rooms are pleasant and nice sized.

Cons:

The food served in the restaurant is like okay home made food. Breakfast buffet was large but was a huge meh. Worst coffee I’ve ever had at a hotel. They really need to step up their game on the food.
