Super comfortable hotel with great Indian food.
Pros:

My room was so comfortable. Fully air-conditioned, which was great in the current heatwave. And the curtains blocked the light out really well, I had the best night’s sleep for ages.

I also had the most delicious Indian meal in one of their restaurants.

Cons:

The pool was super crowded with lots of kids, as it’s open to the public. But it was a heatwave so was understandably popular.

Disappointed, could be so much better.
Pros:

Comfy bed and swimming pool

Cons:

Waiting 20 minutes to get a drink at the bar. Staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing.
Very limited choice of food and wine in the restaurant, not served, got up and walked out.
No maid service during the day, change of towels, beds made, tidy room etc, had to ask for clean towels
Arguments between staff in front of customers

Cons:

My booking was cancelled just 2 hours before check in, no real explanation, just a 'Technical Issue', no alternative's offered, sounded like they had just over booked. They didact even notify Booking.com so I have now had chasing emails from them, plus I had to book a new hotel at a Premium price because it was so short notice, and hotel refused to cover that additional cost.

Clean and comfortable for one-night stays, benefits from outdoor pool and proximity to rural walks.
Pros:

Everywhere was clean. I really appreciated that the cleaning products they use didn't leave a horrible chemical perfume smell anywhere. The breakfast has improved substantially since my last stay and the bar food was also tasty and good value. The pool and area is lovely albeit there are 1 or 2 wonky patio slabs. There is a fridge in the room.

Cons:

The room is quite shabby now and there were no plugs by the bedside to plug in phone or charge watch - this was the most problematic issue. The curtains were still hanging off the same hooks they were approximately a year ago when I stayed in the same room! The air in my room was quite stale and benefitted from an hour of open windows and door to get some fresh air through it.
