Anniversary ruined
Pros:

Very dissapointing stay here on Monday August 3rd. It was my partner and I 'S anniversary and we were both really looking forward to staying here and enjoying the property. I received a phone call at 1pm that day (check in at 4pm) to be told THE ENTIRE HOTEL WOULD BE CLOSED and because we were staying in a cottage we would need codes to let ourselves in and out because there would be NO STAFF.

Myself and my partner were looking forward to using all of the hotel amenities and would not of booked had we known that the entire property would be empty. It really put a negative spin on our anniversary and truthfully being on large grounds that are quite remote, no staff, closed and nobody around is quite creepy. I have emailed the property about this and have been ignored

Cons:

Staying at a property that was closed for the evening with no staff

Step into a world where time stops Tranquility & serenity in every step through the winding paths.
Pros:

Full of character and charm, around every corner a delight for the senses. Our room in one of the guest cottages was big & spacious , comfortable bed , high ceilings & marble fireplace. The room had a Jane Austen elegance. The bathroom had both a shower & claw-foot bath tub. Gorgeous smelling bath & shower products from their spa. With views out of the sash windows of a beautiful courtyard garden blooming with climbing roses, clematis & hydrangeas greeting you at eye level. Winding paths led to the relaxing thermal village shaded by trees offering natural beauty & privacy. The Shackleton Mill restaurant overlooked the mill waterfall with a high cathedral ceiling feels stylish and inviting. Good food & breakfast was delicious. And an excellent on site coffee shop. All the staff were welcoming engaging & friendly.

Cons:

A minor thing - no USB sockets in the room & TV was dated.

Very pleasant.
Pros:

Beautiful property in a lovely area.

Cons:

I would have loved to see the poly tunnels, orchards and fruit gardens being looked after. It was a shame to see them falling into dis-use.
Although breakfast and dinner were superb, lunch was limited to sandwiches from the cafe. However, plenty of gastropubs nearby.
