Pros:

I loved how dog friendly it was. I've never taken my dog to a hotel so I was a bit apprehensive, but he was fine. My husband and I loved the room. I really enjoyed using the pool. Breakfast was nice and our Afternoon Tea on the day we arrived was delicious.

Cons:

The bed was a good size but the mattress was too firm for our old bones.

Average stay
Pros:

The building and scenery were beautiful and free parking on site

Cons:

The rooms were dated, beds felt like the mattress was made of straw. The rooms were also very loud, we could hear people in the rooms next to us and above us all night & then the bins were being moved and emptied at 7am. Dogs are £20 per night which is extremely overpriced considering the provisions they provide are a plastic dog bed, which if you own a dog they probably have their own bed. Considering we were charged for having a dog, the irony was that there was a dirty nappy disposed of in their car park. Breakfast was very basic and of minimal nutritional value, however the building itself is beautiful and so is the scenery.

A very comfortable hotel, 100% dog friendly and I would certainly stay again if the opportunity arose.
Pros:

Truly dog friendly. Lovely staff, and Pauline and Amy on reception were particularly welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Substantial breakfast and a good evening menu.

Brilliant manor
Pros:

Beautiful location, breakfast was nice, hotel was clean and the staff were lovely. We will book again for sure.

Cons:

It felt like the upstairs room, who had a dog, were in ours there can't be any sound proofing in-between floors... When we were trying to settle down at night the dog was barking and it woke us up at 6:05 the following morning so we didn't get the comfortable lie in we wanted. That's our only real complaint....... The only other is the lights outside at night are so bright that you can't see the sky if you like stargazing like us.
