Disappointing
Pros:

Good english breakfast if you are quick as they clear away before you get chance to help yourself.

Cons:

Took 20 mins to check in as no one on reception and despite following instructions to ring the bell no one came to help, was eventually told there's no reception after 3.00pm!

Time spent with my loved one.
Pros:

We love the tradition and have been visiting for nearly 30 years. The gardens.

Cons:

The poor sound proofing in the mews building. We did not sleep well due to this and the heating system sounded like a kettle boiling all night and then the knocking starts! The rooms haven’t changed or the bathrooms in all those decades. Greeneking need to start to invest in this building. It’s starting to look tired. Behind reception looks messy. Lots of staff but most look like handy men even though the place needs a very deep clean. The room and bathroom were not particularly clean and I could write my name in dust on bedside table. Fluff in the bath. The furniture in the dining room is bordering on dangerous my chair nearly collapsed and the traditional furniture in the bar has seen better days. Things are being covered over with blankets and cushions upon cushions to hid dirt and ware and tear! At breakfast I had a napkin with lots of felt tip colours drawn all over it! We love the original building and will only stay in there in the future. We have sentimental memories here but if we didn’t I don’t think we’d rush back. We came back more tired than when we arrived.

Lovely stay, lots of positives & good value for money but could do with some improvement & would be
Pros:

Easy access location. Staff all friendly and helpful. Food was good, lovely breakfast and good menu choice for food and drinks in the evening. Lovely looking building. Dog friendly which was great for us

Cons:

Standard rooms are in the mews and it all looks a bit tired, paint work, carpets in the hallways and bedrooms. Cleaning standard could have been better

Well worth it
Pros:

I love that such a historical building is still being used today. The wood panelling in the restaurant. The garden with a huge magnolia tree. The chapel - which was being dressed for a wedding later that day. A monument to recognise the work done on the Abolition of Slavery Act

We were there on a chilly evening and our room was surprisingly warm and the restaurant was atmospheric and cosy

There was a great choice at breakfast. Tea and coffee were plentiful and you could help yourself to the continental patisseries and cereals

Cons:

We were in a room with twin beds, one of which didn’t seem super clean. The sheets and pillowcases had lint or fluff on them
