Pros:

Beautiful building & surroundings, lovely room, very clean throughout, dinner service was great & good food.

Breakfast service on day one was a shambles but this seemed to be rectified on day two.

A romantic stay in beautiful surroundings near Stratford-upon-Avon
Pros:

A beautiful luxurious historic hotel with friendly staff

Cons:

The breakfast seemed to take a long time one morning, which seemed to be due to a lack of staff, although to be fair, staff from elsewhere were drafted in to lend a hand.

Absolutely charming and comfortable place to stay
Pros:

Charming place, beautiful room. The grounds are top notch. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

I feel like they could use 1-2 more people running the breakfasts, and they seem to run out of things. Though maybe they were just understaffed the weekend we were there so hard hold it against them. Was a minor complaint in an overall incredibly enjoyable stay

Mixed feelings.....
Pros:

Beautiful location and building, common areas within hotel stunning. Comfortable bed. Clean and majority of staff delightful. Very good therapist. Lovely afternoon tea - incredible quiche!

Cons:

Had high expectations of pool and treatment area and was diisappointed, rather dingy changing rooms, pool area small and a long way from bedrooms. One treatment room in a random room in middle of hotel with one therapist. Bedroom VERY hot, very light (curtains didn't shut properly and spotlights directly outside). Quality of food intermittent.....toast stone cold at breakfast, cafetiere dirty. Salmon supreme was delicious but again quite cold...No cake or scones available with tea/coffee in afternoon - resorted to a stale cucumber sandwich

Disappointing
Pros:

Disappointed as looks quite large. No cosy nooks to sit and relax in or read . There was a fire in reception as you walked in but nowhere else.
The breakfast was very disappointing. buffet style which was not very good it was busy staff could not keep up so waiting for food was normal. When I asked for a menu for breakfast I was told they didn’t give them out as they were under staffed in the kitchen.when I asked why have that couple got a menu the waiter said they know the trick as they were here yesterday my response was there should be no trick.

Cons:

Service was very slow and not to the standard you expect for the rating.

Fabulous facilities, but staffing issues meant no breakfast
Pros:

Building and grounds are gorgeous. Old fashioned charm. Swimming pool and spa are fabulous. Restaurant was good.

Cons:

Understaffed at breakfast. they have the options of a full hot and cold buffet or cooked to order food. We took some continental and waited for our order to be taken for cooked. There was only 1 guy serving for the whole breakfast room. The guy sitting next to us had to ask 3 times for toast and it arrived about 1/2 hour later. We never had our order taken. In the end we gave up. Such a shame really, because the rest of our stay was great. The hotel did take the breakfast charge off our bill, which we appreciated.

Lovely hotel and great well trained staff. The chef could do better.
Pros:

The hotel was very picturesque and in a great location. Rooms were very nice and clean too. We upgraded to a feature room, a very nice reasonably sized room, bathroom was adequate but disappointed that it was a step in bath shower and not a dedicated shower. All staff were very friendly and professional, the waiting staff were excellent. We enjoyed the Spa and overall the Hotel enabled a relaxing break.

Cons:

Although the food we tried was very nice some dishes were unavailable which was disappointing as it was not an extensive Menu. Also my last evening meal was Spiced Lentils with Asian pickles, clearly the Chef didn’t have any pickles available and served finely chopped red cabbage instead, not what I expected or paid for. I did not highlight this at the time because the pleasant staff more than made up for this disappointment.

Pros:

We had a beautiful 2night stay ... The venue was lovely beautiful grounds and they even have wild deer wandering freely on the grounds.
The staff were amazing and very helpful from deciding which cocktails to choose and the attention to detail was definitely on point.
We would highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely be revisiting in the near future.
