Romantic and peaceful but I would look elsewhere in future
Pros:

The location was fantastic, the open fire was really nice and kept the property warm. The grounds were amazing and the drive through the estate was very scene setting. The views from the balcony were idyllic, the complete disconnect from the outside world was very much appreciated.

Cons:

Inside the property is dated, really needed a good clean and maybe some form of refurb. Bathroom was very dirty when we first arrived and we did what we could to clean it up, towel rail even had toothpaste on it (not ours!). Television very old and struggled with signal on most channels. Hot tub as nice as it was to have was only partially working. Toilet rolls that were supplied were wet, crockery and glasses were dirty.

It has great possibilities but needs an overhaul on the inside of the property - too much furniture
Pros:

The beautiful position and building.

Cons:

Cleanliness and attention to detail of the inside. Supposed to have a restaurant at the golf club but it only did bar meals.

The house is in a lovely location but is in a poor state of repair with limited equipment.
Pros:

The house is in a lovely spot in the estate and the front garden is great for outside dining. There is some lovely antique furniture in the house and the house itself is a lovely building.

Cons:

Having paid £2500 for 3 mights I expected a far better standard of decoration and equipment. There is only one stand in shower serving 5 bedrooms. The other bathrooms have showers attached to the taps and there are no shower curtains meaning you have to sit in the bath to use them. The duvets had stains of urine or semen on them and there were pubic hairs on the mattress covers. The wall paper was peeling off some of the walls. There were no batteries in the TV remote. The mattress in the main bedroom double bed was very worn and the springs were evident making it uncomfortable to sleep on. There were limited cooking utensils in the kitchen and a very small fridge and freezer considering the house can sleep over 12 people. There were no cereal bowls to use for breakfast We found the fridge far too small for 9 of us. The staff were hard to find and only spoke a couple of words to us as we arrived and left with no enquiry about how we found our stay at the property. Overall a disappointing stay to say the least.

Pros:

Great location. Hot Tub was excellent. The staff were brilliant. Another night would have been great. Will definitely recommend.

Cons:

Only downside was that the WiFi didn't work and an 11am check out would have been preferred.

Beautiful peaceful location near to popular tourist attractions,
Pros:

Beautiful location. Beds comfortable. Recieved lots of information before arrival about the stay and things to do locally. The cottages were in a surrounding courtyard but couldn’t hear anyone else on site

Cons:

Needs some updating and missing some amenities like wardrobe (only hanging space was hooks on wall), only 2 dining chairs for sleeping 6 and no breakfast bowls (just pasta bowls and nibble bowls)
