Brilliant
Pros:

Location amazing. I booked afternoon tea for 19 people. Was amazing. 7 rooms were booked due to 90th birthday celebrations we have stayed in the hotel many times. Cooked breakfast wasn't brilliant but pastries were lovely. Staff were fantastic

Cons:

Breakfast wasn't up to standards. Bacon tough. Black pudding not right. But that's the only things that weren't right. Also you could put exit signs from rooms to reception

Mediocre
Pros:

The room was very nice, good size, clean, the shower was incredible and the robes and slippers were an added bonus.

Cons:

The fridge in our room wasn't working, we asked for ice to be brought to the room as it was a heatwave! The aircon in the roo. Also wasn't great! It got very hot. None of the staff made our stay stand out. They looked down on us and made us feel an inconvenience to them! No offer to take our bags to our room ( which was a long way from reception) for the price and standard of hotel id have expected a lot more from staff! Considering we were there to celebrate a 40th birthday, which i mentioned upon booking, none of the staff mentioned this or even a happy birthday. Rather disappointing
