I'd love to return
Pros:

Great location and surroundings and the staff were excellent. Bed, pillows and duvet were super comfortable. Good swimming pool and steam room. Treatments (full body massage and facial) were excellent. Outside bar area lovely place to relax in the sun. I'd definitely return.

Cons:

A little tired around the edges - hallway carpet needs to be replaced and skirting boards in room repainted.
Sauna is very small.
Couldn't recharge my phone by the bed as the sockets had round pins

Cons:

Evening meal, roast beef was extremely tough, not what you would expect, from this restaurant, showing butcher cuts and produce on own farms, staff were very good, offering me replacement and dessert. Also walking maps of estate very poor, couldn't find our way at all, even after asking staff! Gave up after an hour and drove to the kennels. Otherwise wise all good.

Great location for our annual reunion with old university friends.
Pros:

Lovely country house. Comfortable. Quiet. The outdoor space- plenty of walking opportunities.

Cons:

With the absence of a lift - and with extensive network of corridors- a porter service would be useful. The lack of refrigerators in the rooms. Limited seating in the bar. Music in both breakfast restaurant and Bar & Grill too loud.
