Good value for a family room, but some maintenance issues.
Pros:

Good value, convenient location. Breakfast was good. Receptionist and other staff were friendly.

Cons:

In need of maintenance and redecoration, particularly the bathroom. Our toilet kept filling up after flushing. We told reception who said it was an ongoing issue and nothing could be done. There was a big red stain on the bathroom floor.

Visit to family
Pros:

Superb breakfast, plenty of choice and beautifully cooked.
Room charming with the most lovely furniture and the sleigh bed was so comfortable.
Bathroom and individual toiletries were a nice touch. Fan in the room a God send with the hot weather and having the patio door to open made the room very comfortable.

Cons:

Just one thing and it's constructive criticism, a shelf is needed or cupboard to put your toiletries and clothes, pjs . Perhaps a shower mat to avoid slipping and handle.

Could be so much better with a little TLC!
Pros:

Room was large, breakfast was nice and staff were friendly. Setting of the hotel, with gardens and trees were really nice, parking was ok too.

Cons:

There was black mold in the shower, you can buy stuff to get rid of this but they clearly dont care to. Venue is for events, so can be noisy at night and without AC in the rooms, on a hot day you have to have the windows open so can hear every sound, in this case, a man angrily shouting at a woman for letting him down, there are no signs urging guests to consider people sleeping and no staff to ask them to keep the noise down.

A (subtle) Art Deco gem in a lovely setting with friendly staff
Pros:

This is a lovely property in a lovely spot. Being something of an Art Deco fan, this is a gem. For those who aren't interested, or don't know, don't worry, the art deco is subtle but lovely, door handles, mirrors etc, just evoke a 1920's style. Add to that that we had the garden / family room, which had a separate room for us, and a separate room with single beds for the children, a small-ish lounge, and, a private garden - plus it's in some lovely grounds, all part of a comfortable, friendly house with really helpful staff.

Cons:

My only comment would be that the carpets in the garden room could do with a clean, but other than that, the bedding was clean and fresh, the setting was lovely, and we were very happy we'd found it.

Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. We decided on the cooked breakfast, and the eggs were exceptionally fresh. It was served with plenty of toast and generous jugs of freshly brewed filter coffee.

The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and we enjoyed having breakfast beneath the pergola, which made for a particularly pleasant setting.

The staff were warm, friendly, and always happy to help, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Cons:

There were facilities to make tea and coffee in the room, but it would have been a good idea to leave some bottles of mineral water as it was so hot.
