Cons:

We had a family meal 5 adults 3 children & only allowed to eat in the Bar Area as the restaurant & garden room don't open until 7.We had very poor service, the food came out at intervals over 40 minutes therefore we didn't eat together.I am afraid this spoil the lovely reunion we should of had.

Disappointing
Pros:

Location and grounds are lovely.

Cons:

Breakfast is overpriced. Avocado with poached egg option was extra. I don't like waste and food is cooked whether or not guests have arrived. Then after a period of time, it is cleared away and freshly cooked food is put out on the buffet.
Lack of interest from management regarding whether or not I had enjoyed my stay.
So much potential is being wasted.

Love the history of the building.

Cons:

Short staffed in the bar, waiting time to be served. Didn't like the menu in restaurant, would of preferred an A la cate menu to make it special. Didn't like the smell of fried food ie Fish and chips in the restaurant. More choice please.

A beautiful historical setting in lovely grounds.
Pros:

This is a beautiful historical hotel. The parkland setting is absolutely lovely and the bedroom was beautifully opulent. We loved it.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Our bathroom fan wasn’t working, room
69, which may have contributed to the black mould subsequently growing on the bathroom walls. Might be worth suggesting that the cleaning team, a, check extractor fans work and b, look and clean above eye level.

Beautiful surroundings but just needs finesse!
Pros:

Absolutely stunning grounds. Extremely beautiful location

Cons:

The rooms were very dark .. lots of ants if you open window ( it is in a park!) Valance bed stained drapes grimy it’s such a shame as everything is so pretty … but just needs some finishing touches … bathroom mirror only suitable if your 6ft tall. Food restaurant mediocre.
