It was ok for the place it is, just few things let it down
Pros:

Breakfast was OK but over priced

Cons:

Tv connection was poor, and cleniness wasn't up to scratch for a 4 star hotel house keeping needs reviewing as took to long to come and change stuff and pick up dinner tray from the night before! Wasn't collected till late afternoon so was outside room all that time, food wasn't cooked to right standard ie.(steak was still mooing) when ordered medium rear, and not a lot of choice on menu.

Pros:

Beautiful old building in a lovely setting.

Cons:

Called reception at 1.30pm to ask if i could check in at 2pm. Couldn't check in 1 hr early unless I paid £50. When we arrived there were only 5 cars in the car park and only 4 cars at 10pm. So the hotel wasn't even half full. Felt £50 was unreasonable.

I love this hotel , but it needs serious input in a lot of areas
Pros:

A stunning building, shame about the greenhouses, look dangerous and in a state of disrepair a shame as you could grow all you produce on site

Cons:

I stay here a lot over the past 4 years , and there’s alway a lack of staff wile in bar , also the bar is so bright and why is it on so many occasions it’s so cold ! A fire that’s not alight it’s very uncomfortable to eat in there , as for that magnificent restaurant with the amazing wood paneling!!! Who decided to hang the most hideous paper into the paneling, a disgraceful decision! Cold and again a lack of warmth, this restaurant should be more busy then I have seen over the years , sorry about my input but it needs to be looked into especially that restaurant

Despite excuses that it was Christmas, very poor room service and disappointing.
Pros:

Room was OK, but no clean up after first night, bed not made, towels not changed....no visit to the room at all.
Bathroom was OK, although shower controls were difficult to control.
Complained of cold room, but heater was delivered so very good!
Breakfast was mediocre, and kitchen was closed for dinner due to Christmas.
Staff were very pleasant so no complaints...

Cons:

As already stated, room was not touched after first night of two night stay. (It was over Christmas, but to be charged full price with no service was a bit much!)
Kettle was provided but NO tea, Coffee or milk...that is unforgivable in a hotel of this level!
As two 77 year olds, on arrival we were told our room (No 21) was on the second floor, with no lift. Then the access to our room was up a further two stairs (see photo). On leaving the room, the heavily sprung door tended to push us down the two stairs...really dangerous for elderly people.

Lovely personel , very helpful… Nice and friendly..
Pros:

peace and quiet

Cons:

a lamp that was mounted on the outside of the building above the window, which shone so brightly that the light passed through the blinds and illuminated the entire room.. I would suggest installing curtains in these rooms.
