Delightful place with the most lovely staff. All rooms now need air con!
Pros:

Excellent location! All the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful which makes such a difference.

Cons:

My only complaint. We stayed during the recent heatwave and my room had no air conditioning just a noisy fan, so sleeping wasn’t easy.

Good location.
Pros:

It was the venue for a Birthday Party therefore an obviously choice to stay overnight.

Cons:

Reception staff had to be prompted to allow us to store our bags before we could check in. We arrived by train.

Disappointed
Pros:

The view

Cons:

Wedding on Friday and Saturday so busy, couldn't sit outside, long queues to get a drink. Incorrectly charged for things we didnt have, so bill had to be recalculated. They advertise parking at the hotel but don't tell you it's £15 a night until you get there.

Bedrooms not great but location & views were amazing
Pros:

The location was great & the views were amazing.

Cons:

Bedrooms were tired & mattress was very lumpy & uncomfortable. Breakfast wasn’t great & definitely not very good value for money. No air conditioning in the bedrooms just an old dusty dirty fan, understaffed, staff weren’t very accommodating, no room service, food wasn’t available after 7pm if there was an event on.

Probably wouldn’t go back again
Pros:

The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful
The room was well furnished and supplied. The room staff did their job well

Cons:

The hotel appeared to be short off staff, at times the bar was left unattended and the clients had to wait for the barman to return before being served.
We were advised that there was on site parking, on arrival we were told we would be charged £15 per night to park our car - this should have been advised at the time of booking.
