Pros:

Stayed to celebrate our wedding anniversary having been married in the hotel 8 years ago.
Still a great place to visit, some areas are a little tired and would benefit from some TLC but on the whole we had a great 3 night stay.
Bar service was great, comfortable setting. Fantastic grounds. Great pool and spa.
Restaurant great food, a little pricey but can’t complain too much.
Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Pros:

The hotel has a lovely drive and gardens as you approach. The hotel bedrooms are very dated and worn, we had to have our room moved due to a constant buzzing noise from hotel kitchen. Staff are lovely but until the hotel was refurbished we would not stay again. Worn carpets, curtains and broken tiles in the bathroom in both of the rooms we tried. Corridors also need some new decoration. The food was OK, we ate in the bar area as the dinning room looked a lonely place with only 1 other table eating. Breakfast was nice. Spa was OK, we did not stay long in the pool as there was a kids swimming lesson on and with the roped off area it was too busy to properly swim. Sauna was good but the steam room lacked steam. Easy to park.

Pros:

Every member of staff we met was fantastic, warm friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. The dinner menu wasn’t great and was very overpriced for what you got and the taste didn’t quite match up to the prices. Beautiful grounds surrounding the hotel and excellent treatments in the spa

Great service BUT ..
Pros:

We would have loved to say that the stay was absolutely perfect BUT sadly the room and food did let it down the service though was absolutely amazing we have to say that like that was A1 standard! But sadly the first night we went to the restaurant I spent £38 on a steak and the chips were undercooked and if I'm paying that much for one dish I would expect a lot higher standard a d the rooms cleanliness was not great

Great staff
Pros:

Clean room. Wonderful staff. Great location. Hotel is a bit rundown overall.
Good breakfast. Guyson reception were lovely. No ice in the bar was a bit of a letdown. And the broken gutter made a noise all night.
