Disappointing staff
Pros:

We got a suite and a deluxe double room in the main hall. Was definitely blown away by the care and attention given to refurbing the estate - there’s a functional lift, and the rooms had air conditioning.

Cons:

Loved the property, and our rooms - but the restaurant staff really ruined what was supposed to be a special weekend trip to see the Cotswolds lavender. Happened at breakfast right before we checked out. Travelling with my husband and my parents, who are older and not from the UK. My mum can’t see very well, and struggles with signs - she accidentally put a croissant in the toaster (absolutely our mistake) despite there being a sign there. Again, because she can’t read signs very well. She alerted the staff and stood there while (and I don’t have his name, regrettably) a guy with glasses tried to resolve the issue. He later came to our table and loudly, in the middle of a busy restaurant, plonked a plate with my mom’s burnt croissant and proclaimed that this is why there’s a sign next to the coaster. How absolutely embarrassing, and such a rude and unnecessary thing to do. It was a genuine mistake, and when my mom tried to apologise and say she assumed croissants were fine in the toaster (as they usually are) he basically said, just as loudly, “not in any hotels I’ve worked at.” Not going to comment on the length and breadth of his work experience, but absolutely shocking that he felt entitled to chastising a guest in this manner for what was a genuine mistake by an older person (who can’t see very well) Luxury hotels aren’t just about the infrastructure, they’re about the hospitality - and a huge zero from me to this property on that front. It was absolutely my mom’s mistake that she missed reading the sign, but that employee should have a little more grace in how they behave with guests. That extra chastising on the table was absolutely unheard of, and it put a dampener on our whole weekend.

Geweldig hotel
Pros:

Prachtig kasteelachtig hotel, met de sfeer van vroeger en comfort van tegenwoordig. Interessante geschiedenis. Mooi aangelegde tuin en groot terras met prachtig uitzicht.
Geweldig restaurant.
Uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet en daarnaast kon je kiezen voor heerlijke a la carte gerechten.
Erg vriendelijk personeel vooral de dame die we 3 dagen met het ontbijt hadden.
De kamers waren prima. We hadden 4 nachten geboekt maar wilden vanwege de extreme hitte omboeken naar een kamer met airco. Dit kon na 2 nachten dus dat was erg fijn.
Gunstige ligging om the Cottswolds te ontdekken.

Cons:

- De kamer had geen koelkast
- De omgeboekte kamer had weliswaar airco, maar de mate waarin gekoeld werd, viel toch een beetje tegen. Het bleef nog vrij warm. Deze kamer was ook iets krapper en had een heel hoog raam, waardoor je niet goed naar buiten kon kijken
- Hoewel we dit wisten, vinden we douchen in bad toch minder prettig
- Kosten van naastgelegen zwembad waren GBP 20,--per dag, vonden we aan de hoge kant. Dus niet gedaan omdat we er niet de hele dag gebruik van zouden maken, maar dit zou met de extreme temperaturen wel fijn zijn geweest. We hadden dit hotel vanwege het zwembad geboekt, want we dachten dat er alleen voor de wellness faciliteiten betaald moest worden, Onze eigen fout wel dus.

Pros:

A good b fast
Nice historic location

Cons:

Woken up at 410 am by deliveries who parked a truck and made a lot of noise right outside our window for half an hour. Then another turned up at 7am. Ruined a night's sleep.. really not acceptable for a "luxury" hotel. Don't accept room 302 or in that location.

Internet wouldn't work with firewalls flagging it as a security risk.

It was a hot night but the windows in Ground floor location. are a security risk allowing ientry if open and had to be closed.

Uncomfortable, we left a day early.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was dirty and unkept. Just because it is old does not mean filthy is acceptable.

Comfy room but overpriced
Pros:

Comfy room, nice bedding & towels. Good air conditioning. Staff friendly but the hotel felt understaffed.

Bathroom a bit dated. Room very small. Very limited vegetarian selection in restaurant. Buffet breakfast selection poor. Coffee poor & machine painfully slow. Had to pay extra for spa so did not use. Drinks overpriced
