Awful bed mattress, to much light in room at night, totally fatigued, spoilt the wedding day.
Pros:

Location for wedding excellent, hotel decor very good, staff very good

Cons:

The bed mattress was horrendous, very soft, to bouncy. The room was flooded with light at night time, through top, bottom, and side of door..
No sleep, totally fatigued.
Informed hotel manager via email, no reply.

Outstanding building and gardens in outstanding location
Pros:

The location in the woods and with the grounds is outstanding.

Cons:

It was very strange that was no bread option at breakfast other than boring old sliced bread. Don't they have baguettes / French sticks in Lioncolnshire?

Friendly, helpful staff, a characterful building, historical location an great value for money
Pros:

Great location and grounds, interesting historical building, friendly courteous staff. Great value for money.

Cons:

Some parts of decor/ fittings/ furnishings slightly tired, but the character and charm more than made up for this. Coffee at breakfast tasted filter/ instant where many give ground now, though it was served by staff along with the toast which is always a much better experience than queuing at some kind of self service machine.

Pros:

Like the history of the hotel and the staff were lovely. The twin room was alright for a one night stay. I liked the soft mattress.

Cons:

I booked through Trivago where I selected a ground floor, wheelchair easy access room. Somehow, we didn't get this room and as disabled customers ended up on the second floor.
The breakfast was disappointing especially when we were described that there would be big bowls of fruit. Instead a small lidded kinder jar with just a few grapes, apples and a bit of pineapple was presented. My companion didn't manage to get one and they were not replenished. I wasn't keen on the cooked breakfast and would have preferred a buffet style to make my own choice so I could avoid over greasy etc food. My friend really enjoyed their salmon with scrambled eggs but we both thought the pot of tea didn't taste quite right. So not good value. Some customers also attended breakfast in their pyjamas.
