Pros:

Lovely old hotel., the temple on hotel is an absolutely stunning surprise. The history of the place is displayed and celebrated very sympathetic.

Cons:

The hotel itself really brings down the amazing unique place. The reception is unmanned and used as a dumping ground behind the desk .I experienced leaf blowers storage,, surely a more suitable place could be found , the reception area is a disgrace , not at all a good first impression. Reception staffing, I wanted for 20 minutes before I wandered off to find someone at the bar, no apologies just told to wait ,someone would be there soon.
Hotel itself is very tired in need of some money being injected into it to bring it back to life, this could be such a beautiful , jewel given it's historic features. .. bar staff.. did not have basic fruits for a pimms , did not try in the slightest to suggest what they could do, just a plain we don't have fruit. But low and behold fresh strawberries appeared at breakfast and I am sure a delivery did not happen during the evening or early morning as breakfast staff told us they had not had a delivery so we could not have our chosen breakfast, , evening meal. Many items not available, ordered a starter and meal from the chosen available, main meals came out before the starters, when this was mentioned the very disinterest staff member took back a main and brought the starter, but did not take back the other main , so by the time the starter was finished the other main was almost finished. .. dessert... Mini eton mess ordered,,, this was just ice cream with sauce and a piece of meringue., no berrys in sight. Coffee. again standards so so low, milk only option, cream should be served with coffee, told did not have any,, I can't beat chef does not carry single cream in his basic essentials in the kitchen, the milk was served in a little silver jug that I would expect to be used in a roadside cafe, lucky I had a proper chine one at breakfast the following morning.
