A little disappointing
Pros:

Nice place, nice staff.

Cons:

What was a very small room cost £165 per night and the bar and restaurant were priced at London Town prices (£48 for the bottom of the range wine) which was a little disappointing. Rooms were supposed to have hairdryers, none available. No wardrobe or place for clothes in the room. TV didn't work on arrival and what was a huge bathroom had a constantly running extractor fan. Breafast was £39 for two people.
All in all it felt like a hotal that was desperate to be in the London gang but lived a bit too far away.
Not what we hoped for or expected.

Pros:

Comfortable bed

Cons:

The kettle had to go on the floor as the lead was too short,so the chair had to be moved.cupbord sized room .Water was undrinkable for tea and coffee,there was a small can of still and sparking water!.we had to find a shop that sold bottled water .There was only one light switch at one side of the bed which was a dimmer for 2 spots and 2 bedside lights .The lights flickered when you walked by the end of the bed
That's not a quirky room ,poor electrics couldn't wait to leave

A perfect anniversary getaway with exceptional service, a stunning room, and unforgettable hospitality—we couldn’t have
Pros:

The room was absolutely stunning—truly one of a kind. Every detail was beautifully designed, combining luxury, comfort, and character in a way that made it feel really special. It was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better room and would happily stay here again.

Stunning place to stay and eat, great service only let down was the snug room being a little tired.
Pros:

The main areas and food were lovely. Very beautiful, relaxing and the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Air conditioned rooms in a heatwave were so welcome. The bedding was super comfortable, clean and soft. There were plenty of towels and robes. It was quiet.

Cons:

This was our second visit. It was let down by the snug room. It felt a little tired, in need of some improvements like a new mattress, carpet washing, drain clearing, and a TV that connects to the Internet.
