Overall very good
Pros:

The room was fine but the 'cold' tap in the bathroom produced hotter water that the not so we couldn't get a cold water drink. The iron was broken in that the cover for the water inlet was missing meaning we got water all over the clothes when ironing.

Fantastic building and venue / service - food & wiiFii poor
Pros:

Service & Environment

Cons:

The disappointment for me was the food quality, which was bland in flavour and presentation - fell short of what i expected from a venue such as Coombe Abbey from visiting for the first time food did not meet up to my expectations.

As a senior mgmt team - order a couple of dishes without letting the kitchen know, and see what you think?
