Pros:

Beautiful location & rooms are quirky which fits in with the building itself.

Cons:

The bar closes at 10pm every night, even for hotel guests, I feel it should be open later for guests to enjoy later drinks in the evening.

Pros:

The Hotel and room was fine. The breakfast was good and staff very nice and accommodating. The grounds and surrounding area are very nice too and plenty of seating in the garden.

Cons:

The Bedroom could do with a upgrade like better lighting usb sockets and Internet. The bathroom needs to be tidied up like new silicone round the bath and sink, and new taps etc.

Lovely , historic, reasonably priced also
Pros:

The history , the original features my room was lovely with all the wooden panels . Food was lovely and the staff was helpful too .

Cons:

Only downside but didnt affect our wedding anniversary stay . was there was a wedding going on and we couldnt sit outside on the softer seating area as the wedding family members took all that area up rather than there marquee area .
But was not such a big issue . Just maybe some more softer seating area would be nice for none wedding guests also maybe

Pros:

Nice location for the National Space Centre.
The bedroom was in the annexe. It was large but it was very hot which made sleeping unbearable even though we had a fan.

Cons:

The heat in the bedroom. 2 single beds would have been nice instead of a sofa bed as we had our 2 grandchildren with us.
