Great value for money, staff were excellent.
Pros:

Beautiful character building with period features and lovely gardens. Large carpark and lovely and quiet surroundings.

Cons:

The bathroom was quite dirty, the cold tap had brown/mould residue so was reluctant to use it. The rooms are in need a some TLC.

Pros:

Our room was larger than we expected and they were good enough to give us a room with disabled access, as requested. The breakfast was extremely good.

Mostly enjoyable apart from the comments above,
Pros:

The convenience of location. The room was as expected. Compact but comfortable. Delighted to find a bath as my wife doesn't really like showers.

Cons:

Why oh why are 'compact' rooms listed as doubles? This is most hotels sadly. One chair (2 people don't forget).They are single rooms with a double bed! Why on earth does Accor think that 1 normal tea bag, 1 decaff tea bag, 1 bag herbal tea, 1 sachet normal coffee and 1 sachet of decaff coffee for 2 people ( who incidentally don't drink decaff anything as we actually have taste buds) is suitably adequate for guests? Come on, have a go at thinking it through.

Good location, staff helpful, nice grounds quiet at night.
Pros:

Period hotel great parking good location rooms good size beds comfortable and facilities in room good , iron ironing board , fans etc

Cons:

Some rooms could do with a refurb, looked a bit tired. Also would benefit from some air conditioning units as it was uncomfortably hot the weekend we stayed. Also difficult to move luggage around to second floor as lift only took to first floor, so could be a bit challenging for some people.

The hotel needs a facelift.
Pros:

The hotel is a beautiful building and a good location. The staff are friendly and responsive.

Cons:

The hotel unfortunately is very tired. It needs an upgrade. More needs to be done to raise the standard of the cleaning for the whole building.
