In the end we had a good stay. The food and service were great.
Pros:

Very pleasant old building. Staff was very helpful

Cons:

It was very hot weather. We were put in the attic room, no air conditioning. We are elderly and my friend battled to climb all the stairs. Later when we complained , we were put in a ground floor room with lovely air conditioning.

Not value for money.
Pros:

Nice breakfast. Proper bacon.

Cons:

In room two, one of the bedside lights didn't work because the plug outlet doesn't work at all.
The fully floating toilet seat was a balancing act and the bath was so high off the floor I had to assist my wife to get in and out of the tub.
The fancy coffee machine didn't work, glad there was a kettle for backup.
Next morning, I reported these things to the young lady at reception when she managed to put her phone down (not the house phone) and said she would make a note of it.
Our friends in room one said they couldn't stand up in the bath to take a shower because of the sloping ceiling so they had to squat and splash in the tub.
I worked hard for my money and I would expect considerably better facilities for the £250 I paid for two rooms for one night.
I can't honestly recommend staying here.

Nice staff but expensive water at dinner.
Pros:

Staff friendly and park like location

Cons:

Very noisy cleaner at 7.30 clattering in their store room next to our room - woke us up prematurely.
Cost of still and sparkling water at dinner: £9.00 each seems excessive!

Lovely property in a good location
