Air conditioning system in the bedroom was not very effective.

Pros:

Hotel was ok, clean and friendly Staff

Cons:

Booked expecting a Hotel of this description to be in private Grounds

Unfortunately this Hotel is not with busy Roads and Traffic views from windows all within 50 yds surrounding Hotel.

One view is the Fuel service Station.

Stratford on Avon has lots of shops and Restaurants that make the stay enjoyable.

Will look at exact location and surrounding area more closely in Future

Wouldn’t recommend at this price point. Surely didn’t need a late checkout
Cons:

A very dated experience but in the non positive way. The original manor still breathes some history but the other later built buildings where me room was felt very outdated and was lacking maintenance. Carpet was loose and raffled, bed was too soft and too short, bathroom tiling was cracked and the shower head was at my shoulders height. Also the water pressure from the shower was appalling.

Breakfast was mediocre at best. Poor fruit selection no fresh apples or bananas available, extremely poor coffee, no scrambled eggs by default only some chewy fried eggs.

In general, the lighting was very poor. Very bright white light instead of warm yellowish lighting which would’ve made a great difference in atmosphere. Also in the room there was this bright white light which made me feel in an office rather than a hotel room inside of a manor.

Rather disappointing they could do with bringing things up to a higher standard to reflect their best rooms rather than
Pros:

I liked the old part of the building but overall little ambiance and in need of some tlc so staying in a lovely room was a little unnecessary as could have done with some attention

Cons:

Some of the staff could with more training as were not very friendly but some were excellent. My friend was hugely disappointed to be told the day before that she could not have her chosen room for the first night and was put in a very substandard room instead which was very unfortunate as it was a special trip for her. Her treatment at breakfast left much to be desired as well so we didn’t use the restaurant again. A rather rude man on the spa reception as well.

Too many steps
Pros:

The location is great and the bedroom was comfortable.

Cons:

There needs to be more honesty about the number of steps. There is no lift. I have minor mobility issues and, had I known, I would not have stayed there. Also, there is no boiling water tap/kettle to make tea at the breakfast buffet. Tea is not made properly with hot water - it is made with boiling water.
