Helt fantastisk hotell med mange flotte ansatte som er der for å gi deg en god opplevelse.
Pros:

Frokost veldig god. Godt utvalg av typisk English breakfast. God te og lokal honning. ( honning var søt og god) Melk og kjøtt kommer fra lokal gård. Likte at jeg selv kunne bestemme hvor mye jeg ville ha av hver ingredienser. Og hvordan jeg ville ha egget tilberedet. Både eple juice og appelsin juice. Kunne også bestille grapefrukt som er delt og servert med spesiell skje til å spise med. Mange ulike frokost blandinger i små porsjons-esker. små marmelade glass i ulike smaker. Perfekt porsjon til en skive ristet brød.

Cons:

Jeg har ikke noe dårlig å skrive. Her blei vi behandlet som viktige gjester alle sammen.

The best hotel I've stayed in, by far. Lovely staff, and a lovely location / building.
Pros:

I liked the not only the history of the building, but also the layout. The room we stayed in was so clean, and gave me enough room to store our belongings. We got upgraded to a king room, which was a lovely suprise right from the start. We stayed in Gwillim, which was a gorgeous 16th century layout, and got given all the essentials needed within the room 😊.

All staff members were absolutely lovely during our stay, and we are most definitely going to come back soon for another stay, since we aren't too far away.

This place has been a special place for me, not only during my childhood, but also now, for my 20th birthday treat, and I'll definitely be coming back in years to come.

Thank you again for the room upgrade, the lovely dinner, breakfast, and everything in-between. This place is a gorgeous hotel, and I'll be reccomending all my friends and family to stay here too! Just like the slogan says! 😆.

We got served by a lovely desk lady, who gave us the room keys and helped us with any questions asked (sunday 12th) . We also got served by a lovely gentleman called callum, who was our server for dinner on sunday the 12th. And on the 13th, I got served breakfast by this lovely lady on the breakfast service (13th april)

The staff members are as lovely as the properly!
Most likely be seeing you all soon!

Thank you so much again,

- Emma Palmer x

Great place to stay.
Pros:

We loved the welcome we received. Very helpful staff and the room was really cosy. We felt like we'd stepped back in time. Magnificent foyer and building.

Cons:

The shower tray wasn't draining very well, so I had to keep stopping the shower to let it drain otherwise it would have spilled over.

Great people, great setting.
Pros:

Every member of staff was exceptional, warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They even called ahead to check whether I’d like any food set aside, as I was due to arrive late after the kitchen had closed, which was a very thoughtful touch. The building itself, along with the bar and dining areas, is beautiful and full of charm, making it a really lovely place to spend time.

Cons:

The only minor point worth mentioning is that I could occasionally hear a little movement from other guests in the corridor or nearby rooms. It certainly wasn’t a major issue and didn’t detract from the overall experience, but it’s the only small thing I noticed. Overall, the hospitality, character of the building, and atmosphere far outweighed this, and I would happily stay again.

Highly recomnent
Pros:

The staff were exceptional. Friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Food was good. Room very clean and comfortable. Excellent value for money

Cons:

Stairs are quite steep and only gave handrail on one side. This is a problem to me as I only have limited use of one arm. But staff offered to carry my suitcase up ( even offered to get it from car fir me)
