Very enjoyable and very good value for money
Pros:

Very impressed with staff and service. Food quality, both dinner and breakfast, was excellent. Lovely building and grounds.

Cons:

We stayed in an apartment on the the top floor so a lift would have helped. We did know this in advance and it wasn't a huge problem. There did seem to be quite a lot of noise during the night from heating pipes or something like that. Again, not a major problem.

A lovely short break locations.
Pros:

The property was lovely and in a lovely area with plenty of areas for walking our dog. The staff were incredibly helpful and the food was exceptional.

Cons:

The room could do with a little bit of tlc in terms of touching up paint but did not detract from our stay.

Very relaxed, comfortable and ideal for us visiting family in the area
Pros:

Great location and lovely staff. Grandson loved Easter Egg Hunt, great coffee and cakes able to sit inside with double buggy and dog so ideal for us!

Cons:

Nothing really, very small wardrobe and lack of storage for clothes, coat hooks would be great. Stayed in a studio this time.

Tired room that needs some maintenance to make it safe.
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Tired room with unsafe flooring that was water damaged and with trip hazards.
We were woken at 5.05am by noise outside our room window which the reception desk said was a waste contractor collecting rubbish. Don't believe that was the truth as only one metal cage was involved.
