Has the potential to be lovely, but it’s worn and tired now.
Pros:

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very good and so much better than expected as it was cooked to order and not the usual lukewarm buffet you get in so many places now.

Cons:

The property is tired and the rooms are disappointing for the money. It needs an investment of cash to bring it up to the standard it needs to be. We moved to a 4 poster room as we didn’t like the first room they gave us which was allegedly a deluxe double. The beds are not extra large as described which was disappointing. The bathroom was horrible. Paint was peeling off the walls and the radiator. The shower tray was cracked and chipped and the sink had a really bad brown stain all around the top of it. There was no fridge or water in the room. The mattress felt old and the towels and bedding were average at best. I had to pay another £66 to change to this room as well! And no hot water one morning!

Staff great but needs a tidy up.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was also very good.

Cons:

Having lived in the area for along time I was looking forward to staying but unfortunately the grand old Biulding is looking rather tired inside, in our bedroom the carpet was stained, there were water stains on the ceiling and the paint work in the room needed doing.
It’s a shame because it could be a really nice place if it was looked after by the owners.

hit the spot
Pros:

Nice quiet traditional English country hotel in a good location for travel connections to London. Room and en suite spotless, comfortable bed with windows that opened. Of especial note were clean and peaceful garden terrace and neat and spacious and peaceful gardens, much appreciated on a warm summer evening, together with large and easily negotiated car park with shading trees. Also a clean, quiet, and reasonably priced hotel bar, and polite and helpful reception/bar service/staff member, Alex, from Macedonia. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend the establishment to anyone.

Cons:

nothing
