A good hotel in a great location, but stay will be remembered for the 2 issues on the first morning and second evening o
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and reasonable value

Cons:

Unfortunately, the water supplies to the hotel was disrupted during our stay which meant we had no water on the first morning of our stay.
There was also significant noise disturbance during the second night of our stay (10pm - 5am) due to BT works on the road outside the hotel.
Whilst neither of these incidents were within the hotel’s control it ultimately spoiled our stay in this lovely place.
The absence of a full time reception at the hotel also made it difficult to follow up with the hotel to understand what was going on.

Need more bar staff
Pros:

Location and hotel

Cons:

The only pub in the village so to get a drink and order food, you had to queue every time. Sometimes queue was half an hour

Great location potential for the grounds to be lovely if better maintained. Rooms well decorated, staff appeared rushed
Pros:

Location and grounds. Colour schemes.

Cons:

It felt like lots of corners were being cut with staffing levels, hotel and ground maintenance, room make ups during the stay. The environment could very quickly deteriorate if it isn’t well looked after. Expected more from the price of the room. Staff appeared very rushed and not customer facing several presented as abrupt and loud. Continental breakfast was poor. Poor choice, tinned fruit. Carpets in room smelled of dogs.
