Pros:

The hotel had a lovely garden and pool facilities. The breakfast was also great.

Cons:

The ventilation system in the room was a bit loud. My room was near the pool so the sound was possibly that machinery.

Pros:

庭が綺麗だった

Cons:

エレベーターが故障。階段利用でスーツケースを下ろすのが大変だった。エアコンが無く、扇風機はリモコンがなく、調節出来なくてうるさくて使えない。窓がほとんど開かないため、夜になって外は涼しくなっても部屋の中は熱がこもったままだった。

We were originally staying
Pros:

Everything, a great balance of ancient meets modern set in 13 acres of beautiful countryside. Breakfast was Brilliant- I can’t remember a better one in my lifetime! Staff were all extremely helpful and very professional. Upgraded our room for an extra night as we loved it so much on the first!

Cons:

no options for my wife who is pescatarian for her evening meal. The restaurant had run out of both fish and chips and the sea bass option leaving her with ordering just chips. Limited choice of non alcoholic beverages too - no tomato juice or appletise and no slimline tonic
