Great! A hotel to be recommended.
Pros:

Breakfast and dinner were both excellent and the views from the hotel were outstanding. The service was also excellent. All staff members were welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

Everything in the hotel was very good . The public rooms were exceptional- full of history, character and charm. The only improvement I could suggest would be a small safe and fridge in the standard bedrooms.

Slightly marred by wake up at 01:30.
Pros:

This is not the first time I've been to Stonefield, in fact it's a favourite and I will be back for sure in the future. Atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Staff friendly and efficient; special mention to Grady!

Cons:

The fire alarm going off at 01:30. And not even an apology the next day.

Pros:

The location and the building.

Cons:

It was extremely hot everywhere in the hotel and there were no screens on the windows so we could not open them as the bugs would have flooded the room. The staff was unfriendly except for the Romanian bartender. He was top notch. I would not stay there again if I return to the area.

Pros:

Beautiful old property surrounded by stunning gardens and forest views

Cons:

Breakfast service was very slow. Waited 5 mins and no one acknowledged that I was waiting, so sat myself down. Another 10 mins later, managed to flag down service and was snapped at for taking my own seat.

Pros:

Superb location. Peaceful, tranquil, lovely surroundings, interesting decor. Food was very nice.

Cons:

It felt a little tired and for a 4 star hotel I had maybe expected a sink that wasn't cracked, or a minibarfridge in the room.
