Sweet & Sour
Pros:

The bar and restaurant leading out onto the lawns was very nice especially in the summer months.
We booked the Polo Suite which was very spacious and comfortable with french doors leading onto a terrace overlooking the gardens.
The grounds provided a nice setting for a short walk after dinner.
Restaurant staff were very proffessional and accommodating as were the bar staff.

Cons:

The check in experience was poor. having not stayed the hotel before we were not aware that our room was at the top of some steep winding stairs. When the big American member of staff asked us if we needed help with our bags we declined but were unaware of the climb ahead of us. He knew very well what a climb we had ahead of us but I suspect looking at this physic that he didnt want to do it himself.
Also, the guy checking us in was obviously new and it wasnt until a lot of searching and climbing stairs that we realised that he had put a room number on the key card holder that didnt exist and a suite name that also didnt exist. This amounted to a very unsatisfactory checkin/arrival at the hotel.
Also one night the suite was not cleaned or serviced which for the rate we were paying was not great. Reception staff generally seemed to radiate apathy toward their work.

Enjoyable stay but pricey. Booked as graduation treat and would need a really good reason to stay again to justify price
Pros:

The location and architecture was wonderful. Beautiful decor and quality features. Dinner was lovely and food was not overpriced. Staff were attentive and friendly.

Cons:

Overpriced breakfast and limited options. No spa facilities but priced like it does. Fans in room were ineffective in keeping the room cool.

A beautiful, tranquil hotel with exceptional service, we will definitely be back.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with fantastic staff who couldn’t do enough for us. It has such a calm, relaxing feel from the moment you arrive, and although it feels like you’re tucked away in the countryside, it’s in a great location. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and it’s obvious that the team really care about making sure guests have a wonderful stay.

Cons:

Nothing at all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Ok but nothing special. Fulfilled the basic requirements.
Pros:

The grounds it is situated in.

Cons:

Poor coffee options in rooms. Love my early AM “Joe” and just wasn’t able to get my fix at the RBH. And “fitness room” very poor. Hotel should take over another room (larger !) and up their game in this area.,

Will come to stay again.
Pros:

The location was great for my purposes. The hotel is in quiet environment. It’s a typical UK hotel with modern furniture and facilities in the rooms. The beds were super comfortable!!!

Cons:

Nothing. Narrow staircases but that goes with proper English hotel. 😀
