It was a prefect weekend getaway
Pros:

room was lovely, spacious and comfortable with large bathroom and great bed

Cons:

There are no bins around the property grounds, which are otherwise great for dog walks. Had to walk around all the way back to my room with a poop bag in my hand. Otherwise it is a dog friendly hotel

A really lovely stay, the staff were very well trained and obviously experienced so we were well & taken care of. Th
Pros:

So much character in the buildings, fascinating history but also very comfortable in every way. The grounds alone are superb, with huge specimen trees and lakes. The gardening team created lovely shrubberies and colourful pots and baskets everywhere. The grandeur of a stately home but a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The extensive grounds ensured a peaceful night’s sleep and the health club facilities were also good.

Cons:

Very little to criticise, in the extreme heatwave when we stayed some guests were surprised the bedrooms did not have aircon but the windows could all the opened to let in cool breezes at night.

Very nice stay but needs some refining to keep it feeling luxurious
Pros:

The location is phenomenal and we loved the period features and also the facilities

Cons:

We did notice food trays from room service with half eaten food and various bottles of half consumed drink still littering the corridors at 9pm. Well after the housekeeping staff had finished their work for the day which I don’t think gives a great impression (to be clear these same trays were there from when we checked in at 1pm to when we returned to our room around 9pm)

Wunderschön gelegenes Castle
Pros:

Großes Zimmer. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, der aus der Karte gewählte Toast wurde schön serviert. Das Hotel liegt wunderschön in einem großen Park. Stilvolles Ambiente.

Cons:

Das Dinner ist für die Qualität zu teuer (Hauptspeise war allenfalls Durchschnitt). Halbpension zu wählen kann nicht empfohlen werden. Die Vorspeise schmeckte gut. Die Nachspeise kam aus dem Tiefkühlfach, der Teig war vom Auftauen matschig.
