Pros:

Your staff are lovely. Friendly, hard working, and polite.
There was a good range of food for breakfast, both hot and cold food.

Cons:

I know it was the honest day of the year, and yes, my room had a fan, but my room was as hot as the coals of he'll, as was the whole hotel. No where had air conditioning. The restaurant was a sauna, not conducive to enjoying a nice meal. As temperatures rise, if changes are not made, business will be lost.

Pros:

All very good apart from just a few loud guests.

Cons:

Some of the guests were in the garden near our room and talking loudly and laughing loudly until 11.30pm and later preventing us from sleeping. In the morning I complained to reception but she just brushed it off, not sympathetic.

Excellent value for money and great location. Lovely food and very helpful, polite staff.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent food in restaurant for dinner and cooked buffet breakfast. Lovely outside terrace to enjoy rest of bottle of wine in the sunshine. Great location for us near to Blenheim for the flower show.

Cons:

The bed was a bit hard for me as I have a bad back. The towel rail in the bathroom was on full blast day and night with no apparent switch in the room/ensuite to switch it off. As we were in the middle of a heatwave I kept the bathroom door shut as much as possible to keep the heat from warming the main room more. (Reported to reception.)
