Very british
Pros:

Ein sehr schönes Haus, typisch britisch. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben einmal im Hotel zu Abend gegessen, dass war recht ordentlich. Es gibt noch eine gute Bar..

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war recht klein und dass Bett schmal für zwei Personen. Das war aber vorher bekannt und war für uns für 3 Nächte OK. Was nirgendwo vermerkt war, dass vor dem Fenster ein Ventilator/Abzug von ca. 6:30 morgens bis nach 22:30 Krach gemacht hat.

Ok, wouldn’t rush back.
Pros:

Nice gardens, away from town so quiet. Would need car or taxi to get into town.

Cons:

The first room we were taken to stunk of weed. We were however upgraded to a better room with garden views but still not something you would expect from a hotel let alone a 4* at this price. Breakfast OK. Busy on first day so had to wait to be seated then was told they were too busy to make a latte so was offered instant coffee instead. Managed to get a latte later. Also poached eggs were boiled.
