Wonderful stay and fabulous event on site
Pros:

Beautiful building and surrounding grounds, lovely welcome and Breakfast manager and team were great, food was really good quality and presented beautifully.

Cons:

It was a shame we weren’t in the main building, however aware of a large wedding been on. The bar in the garden needed more staff as you had to queue for long time and with the wedding and event on the lady good have done with a hand.

Enjoyable but for the heat
Pros:

Breakfast could do with some variety

Cons:

The rooms were incredibly hot. Sure there was a heat wave but our stay was made uncomfortable by no air conditioning

Pros:

Breakfast was nice and quite good value for money. The room was very pretty and charming.

Cons:

The room wasn't ready so we were unable to check in and get ready for an event we were attending. The room was very warm and not all the windows could be opened to let more air in.

Good but could be improved.
Pros:

Good ambience, feeling of opulence.
Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Breakfast was nice BUT could be improved, specifically only one hot drink machine which was very slow resulting in long queue/wait even at quiet time.
For a hotel of that calibre and price surely they could bring tea pots and cups and saucers to the table and would be more in keeping.
