Great location and grounds but overall a disappointing stay - new management and investment required
Pros:

The Hotel claims to be 4 star but in truth it offers nowhere near this level of comfort or conviviality. Its sole benefit is its location and grounds which are superb but do not be fooled.

Cons:

Worn out towels, limited bar and wine options, polyester sheets, cheap loo rolls, staff who clearly resented your presence, a limited menu with options that were out of stock
