very good, relaxing hotel
Pros:

Beautiful location in well kept gardens, sitting outside was a great end to a work day

Cons:

rooms were a little basic, a desk in the room would be even better for work.

Pros:

I didn't eat with you but I loved the car security and I would recommend the hotel apart from the very noisy disco that my room was adjacent to .

Cons:

My room was too close to the evening entertainment . In thirty degree heat i was forced to close the windows and I could still hear the entertainer and audience participation. ------very uncomfortable .

Pros:

The room numbers which are over the bridge all seem to suffer with the problem of squeaky bed frame!!! How staying overnight you'll get a good night's sleep and if everytime the wooden frame is squeaky. 9

Our stay was disappointing I dont belive the room was worth the money we paid for it.
Pros:

The grounds were lovely
Staff on Reception were nice

Cons:

The facilities in the room, there was no dressing table or mirror where you could sit to do hair/makeup.
Room was very sparse not very welcoming no pictures or rugs.
The worst thing was the bathroom it was awful. It needs a complete refurb. The sealant round the bath was black and mouldy in places, the grout was dirty and looked like it hadn't been bleached or whitened in a very long time and the shower curtain looked like it hadn't been washed, this needs replacing with a screen that can be kept clean.
We were woken up extremely early by the noise from the housekeeping trolley and also a knock on the door asking if we needed towels. There was no facility to put something on the door to prevent this, i.e., a do not disturb sign. On the second morning although we didn't have to check out until 10.30 someone was trying the door to the room at 9 O'clock. The room was also very hot and there was no fan.
