Above… please read before you think about staying
Pros:

Awful!! A wedding in the premises was aloud to take over the whole hotel. No parking!! No overflow. Had to park 20 minutes away and walk in the rain with our bags. Issue raised with receptionist, “yeah that’s unfortunate”!! Absolutely awful response. Please, please do not stay at this hotel if they’re hosting a wedding! The hotel allow the wedding to take over the whole reception area and the bar area, you will not be allowed to enjoy anything outside of your room. But the rooms are amazing. The restaurant is fantastic! Food wow… staff so attentive. It’s such a shame that the reception staff won’t care about you! A wedding can take over all be it that most of them aren’t paying guests. The bad outweighs the good

Cons:

Restaurant and the personal that work there

Lovely hotel with comfortable facilities, would book again but specify a room away from car park.
Pros:

Good location with comfortable lounges, bar and garden.

Cons:

Quite noisy at night when there was a wedding. Our room faced the car park on ground floor and was also quite noisy at night.

All guests sounded happy (which does sum it up!).
Pros:

Everything was absolutely fine. Travelled with my father for a wedding and his room was placed alongside mine which was thoughtful (it doesn't always happen). Mine was a perfectly adequate double and his was an enormous family room (so if you book one of those, you'll have room for a jog). Didn't have much time to spend in the hotel itself but it had a lively bar area and I did squeeze in a visit to the swimming pool next morning (very busy but a beautiful spot). Breakfast was very good and staff were again thoughtful, asking if my father needed help with the stairs or a tray. Car parking was plentiful at the hotel. Overall, it had a nice mix of happy sounding guests!

Cons:

Not a criticism but perhaps place the tea/coffee facilities on a table rather than in a deep drawer given I had just assumed I didn't have any until my father pointed out his had been hidden.
