A total lack of respect for their customers!!!
Pros:

Nothing. We were messaged 5 minutes after the check-in time that the hotel was not open due to staffing problems and transferring us to another hotel.

Cons:

Not being given sufficient time to change our accommodation as per our own wishes.

We had a meal and breakfast. For the price l think breakfast should be included. It was a bit expensive after paying f
Pros:

In a beautiful countryside setting, comfortable bed.

Cons:

We were in a room that was a bit shabby, a disabled room with a toilet riser seat grab rails and pull down bars. We did not request this. No sanitary bin in bathroom. The room was not as clean as expected.

Garden rooms are perfect during the summer
Pros:

We booked a garden room, with patio doors , which had its own seating and patio area, which during this nice weather was amazing, who needs to go abroad ? we even sat and watched the sun set one evening

Cons:

Not all rooms have patio areas, as our friends booked a standard room, which did not have the patio area, we booked a garden room, which did have a patio area, so ask for a garden room (they are a little bit more expensive, but well worth it with this lovely weather.

Family celebration
Pros:

we all met up for a family celebration, as we are distributed all over the country, the hotel organised everything for us, from arrival afternoon tea with champagne, to hot evening buffet on the first night , and family meal in a private dining room the second night, we had an amazing time

Cons:

That we all had to leave after 2 x days, we have said the next time it needs to be longer.3 or 4 days, the hotel said they could organise a whisky tasting or wine tasting for us, or off site clay pigeon shooting.

Never again !!
Pros:

Not much to be honest.

Cons:

We arrived at 3pm and the hotel was shut. had to ring for a rep to attend and open.
The front door was then flung open and the rep disappeared for 10 minutes.
Rep not very friendly or helpful.
Room allocated is without doubt the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Considering the hotel was virtually empty and it was our tenth wedding anniversary a larger room should have been allocated to us.
The breakfast is up there with the worst breakfast ever. It was buffet style it was cold and didnt taste nice.

Pros:

The staff were fantastic. All of them. Very friendly and helpful.
Parking was fab.

Cons:

The hotel is dated, dirty and full of spiders and spider webs. We were there for a private family function otherwise i would not have stayed. The rooms and hotel were nothing like advertised on their website. The price was waaay to much for this hotel.
