The stay in the room was nice and comfortable
Pros:

The room was nice and cosy and clean and restaurant was lovely

Cons:

The hotel needs new carpets in rooms and in the corridor areas, the extra charge for the car park is very expensive for customers staying one night, the food was lovely but the duck salad could of had more salad bits to it instead of having a very big plate full of watercress in adding a service charge to the food bill should be optional, charging £19 for the duck salad which contained a bag full of watercress is not reasonable, you could give longer to the paying customer to check out then 10.30 or to check in earlier than 3pm to be able enjoy the stay at the hotel

Beautiful Victorian hotel with an amazing atmosphere
Pros:

I absolutely loved the whole place. The beautiful Victorian look and atmosphere made it feel so special, and even the grounds were amazing, with wild rabbits and beautiful wood pigeons wandering around. The restaurant is stunning, the breakfast was absolutely amazing, and the staff were so friendly, helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Overall, we had such a lovely experience and I would definitely come back again.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing. We had a lovely stay from start to finish and couldn’t fault anything. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Pros:

I was surprised that I had to pay for parking 12£ per night.

Cons:

Paying for car park it annoyed me so much I refused to eat / drink anything there . It left me a bed taste charging for the car park.

Great place to stay
Pros:

Great location set in the grounds of a 500 acre estate which is beautifully managed, great for strolling and taking in the sights and sounds of nature in an exceptionally well maintained setting steeped in history, the place where the gunpowder plot was hatched, has a very traditional theme, very Harry Potter in its styling

Pros:

Large spacious room in annexe. Fairly comfortable. Quirky campaign furniture. Victorian stately home ethos.

Cons:

Long walk to get to bedroom, in the rain. No umbrellas. Evidence of lack of thought and arrogance. I.e. Poor signage. No thermostats evident on taps. AC maintaining about 24c, ie cooling not working. No power outlets near beds, only at desk. Bedside lights switched with main lights, so overbright or dark, no in between. Very strange design decisions for a 2009 building. Pretentious without substance.

Amazing location and building! And some thoughts on accessibility parking.
Pros:

The room was beautiful. The bathroom and the room were both very spacious.
We enjoyed walking around the interiors and exteriors. Everything was interesting and beautiful.
The breakfast was lovely, the conservatory is a pretty area for the breakfast.
We very much enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

There is no information about disability parking. But they let us park in the courtyard for a while to get our luggage to our room. My husband parked the car in the parking area, which is too far away for a person with mobility issues. We could manage this because it's the two of us, but if you're alone, you may need to contact them first about how to deal with parking accessibilty. The buildings had several ramps, a handicap toilet on the ground floor and there was a lift for both buildings.
