Location, setting, grounds, main house steeped in history. Good food and comfortable bed.

Cons:

Room in stable block was very poor, very tired and tatty. Mould on bathroom, poor shower. Very much in need of an overhaul.

Good and would have been a perfect client journey if weren't for those two little details.
Pros:

The surrounding areas. The room. And the building . The fact that English heritage fusion with the present is expectacular is a really nice tge whole atmosphere.
The staff very kind and welcoming and the breakfast was beatiful.

Cons:

The bath was bloqued we had to unbloqued ourselves in tge middle of the night,and a very bad smell came out from the drainage.
I have ordered a club sandwich and even the waiter double checked twice about the type of bread and said brown bread I has been given white bread.

Everything. I can’t believe how amazing this hotel is, from the history, to the decor and character. It’s like stepping back in time. Majestic. I have never heard of this place and now it’s my favourite hotel. Everything was perfect and the staff are lovely. I’m already planning my next trip!
