Pros:

Evening meal very good.Room comfortable.Evening staff very good.

Cons:

The breakfast on the first day was very good.We waited over half an hour and was finally told our order had been given to other residents.When it did arrive it was cold and overcooked.The coffee was cold.We were very disappointed having had a nice meal the night before. The second day breakfast was better but the morning shift staff are much poorer than the evening team.I suggest it's an issue the company needs to address.

Pros:

Mooi hotel restaurant midden in woodstock met mooi aangeklede kamers met veel ruimte. Restaurant en ontbijt waren prima.

Cons:

De kamer was wel erg fris en moeilijk warm te krijgen. Het bed was erg hard en helaas geen echte king, maar 2 enkele matrassen.

Sí al alojamiento - No al desayuno
Pros:

Nos encantó Woodstock y este alojamiento está perfectamente ubicado. Está muy bien calefaccionado, la habitación muy cómodos y limpios. También comimos muy bien en el pub de la planta baja.

Cons:

El desayuno. El café era como agua sucia sin gusto a nada y la comida no era buena. Otra vez no lo incluiría y desayunaría en un café de la zona.

good apart from the bathroom flood.
Pros:

Evening meal and breakfast good. Room comfortable

Cons:

The toilet came away from the wall, the bathroom flooded. I put towels down, went to reception, rang the bell, ignored, rang again, ignored, walked around , found the manager. I was told this was the busy time, 7am, no maintenance staff available, no other room offered, nothing can be done. So I went back up , packed my stuff and left at 8am. The response from the hotel management came across as poor and dismissive, perhaps not intended.
