Pros:

Good location & reasonable price

Cons:

In need of some TLC, first room had significant mould in bathroom. Paid for continental breakfast after checking availability for 7:30am due to scheduled departure for train. By 8am still no croissants ready despite chasing up several times ! Fresh fruit wasn’t even prepared, very poor selection even of cereals & unable to obtain refund when requested. Expensive for toast & cheap yoghurt. Wouldn’t stay again

Peaceful stay in a lovely location
Pros:

Staff were super friendly on arrival, even apologetic warning us of the prospect of noise due to the England game in the evening. I did have concerns from reading previous reviews over noise disturbance from other rooms, people coming and going etc but this wasn't the case for us at all. Maybe we were lucky but we had a room over the far side of the hotel and it was perfect. The room itself was very spacious, sofa, tv, coffee table etc and a lovely traditional 4 poster bed. If I had to make a negative comment it would be the lack of sufficient coffee/milk in the room but a lovely member of the kitchen staff the next morning sorted that. We did have a drink in the bar after going out for a meal and even though the game was still on, it wasn't noisy at all. It really is a beautiful hotel, lovely grounds and quiet location and would definitely recommend.

Cons:

Lack of coffee/milk in the room.

Great location and great accommodation.
Pros:

The room was great. We had a courtyard room which was clean n comfortable, everything supplied to make our stay special. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated and the staff friendly. The gardens have lots of seating perfect for a summers day.
The self service breakfast was well cooked and tasty.

Cons:

Due to weather the room was very hot. Perhaps a fan in the room would be appreciated.
Everything else was fab

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff
Pros:

Beautiful place! I think we were given the best room too! A huge room with a four poster bed, & window seat overlooking the gardens. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Only a small drawback which we found amusing both being tall. You cannot stand up in the shower in this particular room unless you are under 5 feet!
