Great hotel to stay for a couple of nights. Staff are excellent.
Pros:

Fabulous location. Good Breakfast. Staff were fabulous. Restaurant staff were cheery and keen..... Some of the more experienced members of staff could coach the newbies a little to bring there skills up to par.... but overall superb.
The Gardens were lovely and in summer would be fantastic to sit out in..... Rooms were warm.

Cons:

We had a suite as a treat, however the upstairs part of it never was used.... the bed should be up there and downstairs a living room.... Bathroom fittings are ready for a makeover. Moving away from carpets to wooden floors would help dust levels....

Disappointing stay with constant noise
Pros:

The setting of the hotel is beautiful, the staff were polite, and the breakfast was complete and satisfying

Cons:

The room design felt very outdated and tired, not what I expected for this category of hotel. Worst of all, there was a continuous motor-like humming sound through the wall, day and night. It was impossible to sleep without earplugs. Instead of a peaceful countryside break, it felt like trying to rest next to a machine
