We enjoyed our stay but wouldn't go back. It was very expensive for what was actually on offer
Pros:

the grounds were lovely and staff fixed serval issues we had quickly

Cons:

For the price we paid we expected more luxery, also what was advertised wasn't offered, the choice in the mini bar was poor. Wasn't impressed with the food on offer.

Had a lovely weekend, beautiful building would definitely return
Pros:

The whole weekend was very relaxed the staff were always so helpful and polite, we were celebrating my husbands 70th birthday, not much for young children to do but was expecting that, would definitely return

Cons:

I don’t like coffee from machines but everywhere is doing that now ! Having to go down in the lift to have to go up again was a bit of a nuisance as we had a pram it couldn’t be avoided, but it wasn’t a problem and it didn’t spoil our stay
