Short but sweet
Pros:

The room was well equipped but small, we had to sidestep around the bed. We were staying for a wedding and the food served for the wedding was lovely. Breakfast was included, this also was very nice. On the whole staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful.

Cons:

The room was small, be as we were only sleeping in it for one night adequate. The room backed on to the service yard at the back and had the noise of the bottles and rubbish being emptied. If we had wanted a nap in the afternoon it would have been difficult and the noise woke us in the morning. Finding the breakfast room in the morning was difficult, there wasn't anyone around to direct us. Service at breakfast was a little slow.

Poor offering for an establishment which should be better.
Pros:

The room was what you would expect for the price paid, we were in ghe stable block known as bungalows, no air con which made the room stuffy there was a fan though. Plenty of hanging space. Clean, tidy rooms, great views over the locality.

Cons:

Breakfast was dire, full English was all that was offered, satisfied most but not me.
Fruit juice was from concentrate, coffee instant
No continental at all, the yoghurts whuch were few were not on ice ie. they were warm. The milk was not placed on a chiller, the water ti make tea was not from a boiler, it was a luke warm jug of water. The cerals were poor quality and not crisp, I think they hzd been in the dispenser for days. Finally breakfast finished at 9.30 at 9.35 staff began to clear
away taking cups and saucers removing the coffee and cereals, some people had only just arrived for breakfast, total frustration ensued.
A poor show.
