Seeing is believing
Pros:

On the outside the hotel looks nice, but how looks can be deceiving. Went upstairs to the room, the room door was filthy. Got inside and from a distance everything looked ok. The bed was lopsided and lumpy, the bathroom was a whole new level of dirty. Mould around all the shower tray the overhead rainfall shower didnt work. The water took nearly 15mins to warm up and it was barely a drizzle. All mould around the windows cobwebs everywhere. This was supposedly a regal suite????? Just glad it came out of my business pocket and not my own.

Pros:

Stunning 16 century building with gorgeous stone cottages that actually look like the pictures online! Angelina at reception was fantastic and the restaurant was excellent.

Just duck as you walk round and through the doorways as the Elizabethans were much shorter!

This was our second stay at The Great House. Last time we had a room in the hotel building this time it was in the "annex". Very comfortable, large room. Staff were all really nice, very good breakfast on both days. Enjoyed the cocktails too. Thanks to all the team.

Pros:

Interesting building but some communal areas scruffy and need to be decorated. We had room 8, good size, plenty of space for clothes, and spotless. Bathroom looks stylish but not practical - mirror over washbasin positioned for someone taller than 5ft 2in (my height) all I could see was my forehead!! Getting in and out of the bath to use the shower was risky - nothing to hold onto and no bath mat (how does that comply with Health & Safety?) Two of the windows were at the side of the building above the noisy air-conditioning unit, we had to keep the windows open all night due to hot weather. Breakfast both days ok but noticed other guests who ordered cooked food left most of it. Not enough staff for the number of overnight guests but they were pleasant and helpful.
