If you like run down old hostels this is for you.
Pros:

This property was advertised as a hotel and is far short of that, it is a hostel.

Cons:

The place has probably not been renovated since the 70’s. The carpets were badly stained. The plumbing was appalling and rust marks all over the bath. They had the audacity to charge £100 per night for this shambles of a place.

Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to help with recommendations and advice for my mam, she would have struggled without them. I was unable to join the party due to injury and they made the whole experience great for my mam and children.

Ok
Pros:

Breakfast is served very late.. a continental breakfast at ..say..7am or even a 'collect' the night before would suit walkers better.

Cons:

The late breakfast see above

Thoroughly relaxing and comfortable. Like a pair of much loved slippers.
Pros:

Stunning history and setting. Slightly tired. Traditional hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Great value.

Cons:

We didn’t mind a big old house showing its age and signs of being a money pit to maintain. It was really nicely kept but a long way from pristine condition.

All in all it was a very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Very peaceful place. All staff were very helpful especially the gardener he gave us information on places to visit as my husband cannot walk far.

Cons:

We took our dog and was in the conservatory to eat which was fine, other people with dogs were in the main dining room, we were ok in the other room but felt a little inferior, but liked the conservatory, it just seemed some can and some can not, i am not grumbling but it was asked. when i come again i would be happy in the conservatory.
