Was not the experience I expected for the price
Pros:

Location great on arrival once yuor past the facade room block more like an asylum centre which yuo don’t see in any of the pictures. Lucky it’s a hotel or it would be regarded as miselling

Cons:

Honesty around the accommodation

Disappointing
Pros:

The location and grounds were beautiful

Cons:

I booked a room on the day of arriving, I booked a double room however when I arrived a few hours later, I was told they only had a twin room but they could push the beds together if I wanted.
The WiFi was non existent in the room I was in and the cleanliness of the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, the shower tray was filthy (pictures were taken and show. To staff) but no offer of any refund or room move.

Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The spa was great, especially the really warm jacuzzi! Clean room, comfortable bed, pillows not so. Great breakfast, lots of choice.

Good food but disappointing room
Pros:

A quiet location with beautiful grounds to wander in. The restaurant was very good with excellent staff.

Cons:

Despite booking the best available rooms the windows were screened with no ability to see outside from the room ( light did come in). A real pity not to have a view . This made it quite unpleasant to relax in our room. The two seats provided were not comfortable to sit in even if we had wanted to. The leisure facilities are pleasant but unavailable for 3 hours in the afternoon, when we had planned on using the pool, due to private hire.

Good location, great food, lovely staff, parts of hotel rather dreary, good for one night stay
Pros:

Hotel was well situated in parkland. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The pool is warm and clean and the steam room pleasingly steamy. Best of all was the evening meal which was faultless, excellent chef and perfect sized portions. Buffet breakfast was extensive, well cooked and warm and despite there being a conference that morning there was no need to queue for food. Bed was comfortable and the room shower powerful.

Cons:

Although the main building is Georgian and most of those rooms attractive and comfy the remaining parts of the hotel including the restaurant need thoroughly cleaning and refurbishing as they look tired. Both the shower in the Garden Wing and the changing room shower lacked sufficient ventilation causing the grout to grow black mould which is never pleasant to see. The enclosed gardens could be attractive but despite it being June were lacking colour and interest. The outside chairs had been left to the weather which was very wet during our visit, the furniture was allowed to blow around and the cushions were sodden. The Garden Wing is a dreary example of post war brutalist architecture and need repainting at the very least and the corridors are poorly ventilated and smelt a bit doggy.

Pros:

Very clean, beautiful and staff friendly. Warm pool, small but cosy souna. Tasty breakfast.

Cons:

Shame we didn't get room with a nice view, even after saying it is a special visit (2 best friends birthday weekend).
To get to the pool from room need to go through the garden, so if outside rain and cold, then it's not so nice. But we ran quickly and not a big problem, but would be nicer to be able to get to the pool not going outside.

as above
Pros:

The main house is clean and interesting.

Cons:

Didn't like having to walk so far outside to get to breakfast. Had to go to reception to get a pass to use the pool to go back to use the pool, and also what times breakfast was served. No feedback form to leave in case not everyone has email for contact. More information in the room. Poor breakfast: not hot, had a strange taste, cold eggs, dried-up mushrooms, sausages fine, and hash browns fine. Cold room on a bad windy day with no heat to turn on. No info in the room to get more coffee. Only one decaf tea bag for two people in the room and just one biscuit per person is meager.
