Apart from the noisy neighbours, it was lovely. Bit stingy with coffee and tea though
Pros:

Loved the property! Gorgeous setting.

Cons:

I had really noisy neighbours and could hear everything they were saying. About 3:00 I knocked on their door and asked politely for them to please keep it down but they didn’t and kinda got louder. I was in room 302 and they were directly across the hall. Also, there was barely any coffee, milk and sugar—certainly not enough for 2 people. Thank you!

Good hotel with reasonable brekkie, room booking was not brilliant and while clean it was dated.
Pros:

The breakfast was good the buffet had pretty much everything you would expect. I loved the fudge served with the tea and coffee (nice touch).

Cons:

The room I was originally provided was not set up as per my booking but the staff reassigned me a room with a double bed not two singles which was much better. I had contacted the property early to ask for an upgrade and the messages implied I would be given an upgrade so I could be near my family however this was not done and I ended up at the opposite side of the hotel and that was very frustrating especially as I had requested to be close to them and agreed to pay the upgrade fee.

Nice hotel /would stay again due to value for money
Pros:

Value for money was very good
Nice, old hotel set in nice gardens
Free WiFi with no password
Parking available
This was our second visit and we would stay again depending on the price at time of booking

Cons:

cash not accepted

A bit dated (bed base was peeling/stains in bathroom)

Limited room service menu

Was told (via email), that room service was available but when we tried to order, was initially told we had to go to reception to pay, which completely defeats the purpose?
Had to emphasise we had confirmation of room service and luckily it was resolved but felt like we were being awkward

Lovely hotel beautiful building although bathroom could be doing with a refresh but overall pleasant stay
Pros:

Big rooms comfy beds pleasant surroundings friendly staff

Cons:

Clearly communication with regards to breakfast no where in the welcome letter did it state a price for breakfast just breakfast serving times , so assumed it was included we paid 85 pound for our room through booking for com , and if I was to book again even for a Saturday night like the last week it would include breakfast , so not quite sure why out booking did not include breakfast

Dirty rooms and run down property.
Pros:

Location was good and a good breakfast.

Cons:

Very run down and in need of upgrade. In my opinion not a 4⭐️ facility. Both rooms we booked as a family were extremely dirty and looked like they had not been cleaned properly. Sheets and towels appeared used and the general condition of the room was very poor for a 4⭐️ hotel. (See pictures)This was reported to reception and resulted us checking out of the hotel a day early.
