Eine Nacht wie auf Downton Abbey.
Pros:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Haupthaus und es hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Frühstück haben wir auf dem Zimmer genossen, mit Blick auf den Park, es war perfekt.

Cons:

Das Kaminzimmer war sehr voll und somit sehr laut, wir hatten gehofft entspannt Tee zu geniessen oder zu lesen, das war leider nicht möglich.

Will come again
Pros:

The gorgeous Camelot room. The lovely front desk lady gave us a tour of a few rooms and they were all nice but Camelot had the best character in our eyes. Stunning room with four poster beds and roll top bath. The bed was amazingly comfortable.

Cons:

The lack of vegetarian options at dinner.

All excellent.

The price is always on the high side, for us.

Excellent stay close to family nearby
Pros:

Lovely building and grounds. Cosy room, great evening meal and breakfast. All staff friendly and efficient.

Cons:

I was initially not allocated the type of room that I'm sure I'd chosen on Booking.com but reception staff quickly made up for it by moving me to a more suitable room.
No green tea in my room!
