Great stay in a perfect location. Lounge was particularly welcome.
Pros:

Very good. Your black pudding could have been better. Coffee great. Mixed, chopped fruit could have relied a bit less on apple. I'm stretching for things to type now.

Cons:

Dinner could have been a little more generous and a little less precious in its contents. For example I had a first course which was "Taste of the Sea" or similar. It contained a couple of types of fish and just one prawn.
Personally I don't like Pak Choi or Kale or the like and this type of vegetable cropped up quite a lot.
The serving staff seemed quite overworked, although they were very friendly and did they're best. Several times we had to remind them what we were waiting for; in one instance waiting for coffee for 20 minutes.

A hotel in a great location that has so much more potential. Comfortable with good food.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location. There is an on-site carpark. The welcoming was very good and our room (no.22) spacious. The bed was comfortable and the room warm.
The staff we came across were friendly.
The food at breakfast and in the evening was very good.

Cons:

The car park did fill up.
The lift broke twice during our stay and being on the second floor made stairs awkward especially as my wife is waiting for a new knee. It seems the staff have the ability to reset the lift, and I stand to be corrected, but this was not a priority.
Certain upstair corridors had remnants of leaves brought in on boots for example and these were there for the 3 day stay we had.
The restaurant and bar seemed under staffed so be aware there may be a wait.

Disappointing
Pros:

The grounds were lovely and spacious , the inside was nice.

Cons:

There was no atmosphere, felt very cold and unwanted , we travelled with our young son who is 2 and it seemed kids were not welcome , I would recommend going as couples only. The rooms were small and quite outdated , it was overpriced in my opinion for what you get! We did not do the dining because we felt as if we couldn’t with our young son as we felt uncomfortable, so we asked if there was room service to be told bluntly “no” no help on where we can order from or nearby restaurants etc. Lovely hotel, lovely scenery but would not return.

Tak jak poprzednio - niezapomniane
Pros:

obiekt jest cudownie usytuowany w małej miejscowości na uboczu, z piknym widokiem na lokalną przyrodę. Jęsli szukasz ciszy spokoi i pięknych widoków to właśnie tu.

Cons:

Wyzwaniem dla pewno większości obcokrajowców (nie Anglików) są zapewne śniadania - do wyboru jest albo śniadanie angielskie albo różne wariacje z jajkami - nam brak pewno zwykłego chleba i wędlin. Dla mojej mamy która ma ponad 70 lat to było wyzwanie ;-)
