Staff - reception could definitely be something that could be better.
Cons:

The staff were quite rude at times. There was a big group that joined the hotel the very same day and I completely understand the staff being overwhelmed. But there were times when I found the girl at the reception quite rude and spoke to us in a manner that I didn’t quite appreciate. My parents came all the way from India and I had taken them for a vacation and was disappointed that despite having paid so much for a facility which was lovely, we had to see the staff ride to us.

Castles and gardens trip.
Pros:

Lovely room and very friendly staff.

Cons:

The menu choice was a bit poor for a place of that quality. More like bar food. Breakfast was tasty however the staff did not keep on top of replenishing things and had to be asked to do so. Just seemed that there was no one keeping an eye on things. Not a lot of initiative to clear away used plates after beginning more toast.
