A comfortable stay in a beautiful location.
Pros:

Did not take the breakfast. We usually prefer a cold buffet so the price was too high.

Cons:

The cold water came out of the taps a cloudy white. Told this was a problem being solved.

Nice but expensive with the staff inexperience
Pros:

Good location. Superb views. Typical Victorian “castle” in the gothic style. Nice large room. Lovely high ceilinged public rooms. Very dog-friendly.

Cons:

It had the air of being run by inexperienced staff. In the two days we didn’t meet someone who seemed “in charge” and responsible for the property, just junior staff. Our breakfast was served in the bar as we had a dog (which was fine) but they forgot to serve us, left us with no hot drink, no toast and no-one around to ask. When I did ask an older woman I was told to ask “one of the girls”. No responsibility.

Pros:

The staff were super friendly and the location was beautiful and peaceful.

Cons:

It's been really hot and the room was like a sauna, with huge windows that you could only open a fraction. I thought I might melt! Not much you can do other than close the curtains when the sun is shining in all day and maybe have the doors open. I did ask for a fan, which helped.
