An sich schönes Hotel mit Verbesserungsbedarf
Pros:

Ein an sich schönes, traditionelles Hotel

Cons:

Das Personal war nicht so kompetent und hilfsbereit wie im Nethybridge Hotel, das zur gleichen Gruppe gehört.
Die Dusche konnte man nicht benutzen, da die Hälfte des Wassers dennoch aus dem Wasserhahn in die Wanne lief und man bis zu den Knien im Wasser stand.

Great location in town, close to everything.

Very nice place to stop on way further north.
Pros:

The staff were lovely: friendly, welcoming and efficient, and the setting is beautiful. It is great that there are single rooms, as so often a single person has to pay for a double room. My bed was very comfortable and garden view was very pretty. My dinner (venison stew) was very tasty, and although "Negroni" wasn't on the bar menu, the barman made a very good one up for me! Breakfast was plentiful.

Cons:

While my evening bath was beautifully hot, my friend's morning one wasn't hot, and she said her room was a little chilly in the morning too. At dinner, we both enjoyed our starters, but she said her fish (haddock I think) was somewhat disappointing, as a bit dry. It would have been lovely (as it was snowing in April!) if the fire had been lit and roaring up the chimney!

Poor and we cut it short by 1 night as we were unhappy.
Pros:

nothing to say

Cons:

We were not impressed with any aspect of the visit.
We had received an email earlier in the day suggesting we book for dinner as they get busy. We did that on arrival as requested. However when we went down for dinner we found we were to eat in bar area as restaurant was closed. The menu was limited as were choice of tables.
At breakfast the first morning we went down at 8:30, nothing was out on buffet. We couldn't sit where we wanted as they were busy laying for a funeral tea. The cook did bring all out but the whole attitude was very dissapointing.

Pros:

The location and the area around the hotel also the parking were all good also nice view.. We could find some restaurants around the hotel for dinner.
Garden was clean and beautiful.

Cons:

1_ food (both breakfast and dinner) were not good and fresh. Breakfast was just English breakfast and no more interesting alternatives. Also we had dinner first night and it was tasteless and also I felt that some of the ingredients were not fresh at all specially potatoes.
2_ we had problem with the heater and we needed to remind them two times to finally get fixed in second night. Also bed and pillows were the most uncomfortable ones we ever had.
3_I expected to see better and warmer welcoming reception which was not at all. Just the bar and restaurant stuff were quite friendly.
4_We expected to see cleaner and more cozy hotel, however it was not.
