Pros:

Everything was spotless and very well maintained, making our stay comfortable from start to finish. The surroundings are both peaceful and scenic, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the area.
One of the highlights for us was the breakfast — just as amazing as we remembered from our stay two years ago. It was absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with care, which made our mornings even more special.

Cons:

Looks fantastic. But looks can be deceiving.
Pros:

I think the approach and entrance look fantastic

Cons:

The room (Room 88) it was below what I expected. Heavily stained carpet, a fridge that continually clicks on and off during the night.

No water, other than tap water.

The noise - Room above, sounded like they were going to come through the ceiling. The room was positioned looking into the courtyard. However the door was right next to the door to the leisure centre, with people coming and going quite late and very early.

Power cuts and water cuts aplenty. Top Tip go the Toilet wherever you are before arriving here.
Pros:

Nothing really went well.
NO POWER 5 electric cuts in one night.
NO WATER
NO REQUESTED ROOM, DESPITE ASSURANCES..

Saying goodbye to the receptionist in my way out .

Cons:

I had asked for a ground floor room and was emailed saying my request could be facilitated.

But although the receptionist was pleasant , I was informed my room was upstairs, but that there was a lift. it was miles away from the room and 2 sets of small stairs had to be negotiated to eventually find my room.
So big disappointment on day 1.

Then there were the power cuts.... 5 of them.
Then there were the water cuts.
Imagine being in your room, going to the bathroom at 1030 before bed then the water cuts off. NO FLUSH,

Leaving you with bathroom odours for the next 9 and a half hours as you try to get to sleep til the water was eventually returned ONLY after I called reception in the morning, and was assured an engineer was on the way.

Each day the cleaner/ room tidier left less and less milk/teabags etc. So that must have been in as scarce supply as the water and electricity.😃

When leaving, another pleasant receptionist asked if I had a pleasant stay. She was surprised when I told of of the issues I had encountered, but did not apologise or offer any sort of recompense ( I wasn't looking for this but to be offered even an apology would have been a more professional touch)

Overall the hotel was quiet in a quiet location that's really the only positive I have of the place.
Sorry!

Pros:

The grounds were very nice and the main house is a grand place

Cons:

Bed was a bit lumpy and springy. Ordered a twin room and got a double bed I had to split. Obviously didn’t leave much room between the beds. WiFi signal was poor at best
