Convenient location, comfortable and enjoyable for a short stay. Great Breakfast!
Pros:

Garden Wing room quiet, clean and tidy, with great shower. We have stayed before, so expected and experienced an enjoyable one night stay when travelling. Breakfast excellent in quality and quantity of products offered. Staff well trained in Customer Service, very welcoming and helpful. Our query about a light bulb having blown was promptly dealt with, and replacement found very quickly.

Cons:

Bit confusing that there was no milk available at Breakfast so having cereal was not an option - we don't generally use alternatives, although offered. Was apparently due to non-delivery 2 hours previously, but no explanation why staff member had not gone to buy some as a backup ....
The lights electrics in the room were a bit iffy, possibly unsafe, and we did feed this back to the reception desk.

Lovely period property set in beautiful grounds and surroundings!
Pros:

Nice location, lovely building and period features, Italian garden, entrance hall and restaurant area. Grounds were wonderful to walk around and to sit at the rear of the property on a hot summers evening when we were there!

Cons:

Sadly the lack of air conditioning in the main house, and the limited ventilation meant that one one of the hottest nights of the year during the summer heatwave, we found it impossibly uncomfortable to sleep, even with the fan that was available. However, I do not blame the hotel for that as the weather was an exceptional anomaly during our stay.
