Beautiful gardens but a disappointing experience overall.
Pros:

The hotel is in a lovely historic building and the gardens are very well-maintained and quite lovely. It is obviously mainly a wedding venue and the location is definitely photogenic. Not so good for individual guests, however! The 'continental' breakfast provided is adequate, and the coffee machine was welcome. Only whole milk provided though, so if you were lactose intolerant you would be out of luck!

Cons:

The property is rather shabby - peeling strips of wallpaper in the dining area, for example.
The rooms (in the old building) are not air-conditioned, and the provision of a totally inadequate portable air conditioner that roared like an express train did not really cool the room on a humid night.
The bed is quite hard and the sheets, though very clean, were scratchy.
The shower is a total liability - we followed the instructions exactly as per the notice on the wall but the water is alternately scalding and freezing. We actually thought it was quite dangerous, especially for children.
The staff member there when we checked in was not very welcoming, and it appears there are no staff present overnight and none the next morning when we checked out at 10.00am - had anyone been friendly or helpful it would have gone a long way to balance the other negative aspects
Altogether very disappointing.

Charming historical house with pleasant dining, breakfast room.
Pros:

Ambience, garden setting, history info, proximity to town, breakfast had plentiful food and variety. Eggs were too soft on the second morning.

Cons:

Directions given by text and verbally did not include vital info that there was a major detour to enter the property because of extensive road works. The instructions in text message didnt provide enough info eg- "go through glass doors". But finding the glass doors??? Please add " on the south side you will find the glass doors".
Although dog friendly we couldnt find a bin to put poo bags.

A lovely old building
Pros:

A beautiful old building with lovely grounds

Cons:

We weren't warned about the entry road being closed and had to do a big tricky detour to enter the property. There was a wedding on which we were warned about but this meant the staff were very focused on that and information and instructions to find our room were lacking. Generally the signage was inadequate and poor.
