Very expensive for one night
Pros:

The hotel itself was lovely with a lovely garden

Cons:

After paying for a very expensive one night stay , checking in at 3pm checkout by 11 … I found it quite insulting to then have to pay £10 parking charge . The pool /spa wasn’t a quiet relaxing experience as very noisy guests
