Great food, comfortable accommodation but customer service is lacking
Pros:

The beds are comfy, the rooms are equipped with a heater, fan and hairdryer and a heated towel rail. The food was very good - we had dinner at the pub and breakfast in the dining hall.

Cons:

The underfloor heating wasn't working in the bathroom and when we told the manager, she was very flippant in her response. A WhatsApp request for more toilet paper was ignored for over an hour. Don't expect exceptional or quick service, some of the restaurant staff make you feel like they are doing you a favour by taking your order and bringing you your food and drinks. The hotel needs a lot of maintenance, it's looking a bit run down.

Pros:

Cozy comfortable hotel with beautiful tranquil gardens and delicious choices of breakfast options.

Cons:

It would be great to have an activity offered in the morning like pilates or yoga as the winters are cold and it is not always pleasant to walk outdoors.

Never again
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The staff is friendly but overworked- long shifts. The service in the restaurant and pub was shocking… food substandard. We asked for large cups of coffee at breakfast and got very decorative mismatched cracked mugs apparently the staffs mugs as the hotel doesn’t have any!
Such a shame as it is a beautiful old hotel but totally mismanaged.

Amazing staff.
Pros:

The history, brewery and food

Cons:

That this used to be the fly/ trout fishing destination and now it’s completely ignoring the history. Such a pity.
As a result may stay somewhere else and just come for the food and beer.
