Location was great but staff disappointing.
Pros:

Whilst our room was comfortable to sleep, room service was a bit hit and miss. We did ask for room service every alternate day but not all towels were changed on these days.
Loved the location.

Cons:

Food was a little ordinary - nothing special and staff didn't really listen when you placed an order and some times we did not get what we ordered. Things were forgotten. Some staff spent more time on their mobile phones than making an effort to chat with the guests. I am comparing this to the previous place we stayed at in Ford.

A very relaxed and enjoyable stay in a beautiful location
Pros:

Excellent location, excellent food, beautiful hotel and cosy cottage room. Staff were very friendly and attentive, we would definitely stay again

Cons:

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. We stayed in room 8 and it was beautiful and very cosy, however we would choose a different room next time to avoid the steep stairs leading to the room, the low beams that my husband banged his head on several times and to have a shower not just a bath.

Excellent stay at hotel with great location, friendly staff.
Pros:

Very helpful and friendly staff. We arrive at peak time, with a family requiring Cots which had not shown in our booking but the staff were excellent at arranging and in general during our staff were friendly and helpful. Great location and everything we needed.

Cons:

Shower could have been better, but this is a minor observation.
