Comfy, relaxing and good value.
Pros:

The Italian gardens were cute, the grounds allowed for a wonderful walk. The pool and jacuzzi facilities were clean and quiet - allowing us to relax.

Cons:

The brutalist grey block we stayed in. It did dampen the mood compared to the rest of the stunning hotel.

Great house to look at but the hotel doesn’t show you the cell block that you stay in so called hotel rooms .
Pros:

The house was lovely to see .

Cons:

The big white block of prison cells at the back of the house that is called hotel rooms more like a prison camp when you look at it what a shame that the hotel don’t show you this.

Pros:

Good location with large grounds to walk around.The staff were good and the room clean.

Cons:

Both windows had latches with fittings that had come apart so we’re not fixed to the frame which meant they couldn’t be opened in a fixed position.

Amazing hotel, great facilities!
Pros:

A fantastic hotel, with amazing interior design from the reception and restaurant, all the way to the rooms. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were very clean, and the breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed a swim in the pool too before checkout and loved the facilities available. It made a very memorable birthday weekend!

Cons:

We stayed during one of the summer heatwaves and found the rooms a little hot (as with most uk properties!), however the windows didn’t open very far making it difficult to cool the room during the night.

We loved it. We’ll definitely be back.
Pros:

We had a lovely little getaway here and we weren’t disappointed. The staff were friendly, the pool was great, the food was delicious and the beer was great, too. Lovely walks around the grounds and the best bit is that we could be our dog and we all had a lovely sleep.

Cons:

There isn’t much I didn’t like. The adjacent building looked like an eye saw. But, once out of sight out of mind.

Pros:

Staff super helpful (kept bits in fridge and freezer for me) lovely grounds and bar area.

Cons:

Our room was in the garden wing which was not an attractive building from the outside, but the room itself was absolutely fine.
