Better for groups
Pros:

The receptionist was very welcoming and natural. Our room was large. There was a large car park.

Cons:

The hotel was cavernous and more appropriate for large events than for a private stay. The bistro and breakfast room were arranged like a canteen with no atmosphere. Several of the staff seemed uninterested.

Cons:

Da un posto del genere ci si aspetta una colazione un po’ più variegata, ma va bene anche così.

Disappointed customer who had a bad experience.
Pros:

Good central location, lovely grounds and ample parking.

Cons:

Rooms too warm couldn't sleep,unable to adjust shower temp as the control nob wasn't attached and was looking forward to a cold shower with the heat.The waitress at breakfast wasn't welcoming and snapped at us.when we finally nodded off the fire alarm was activated and we had to vacate the room till the all clear was given so I got little sleep and needed rest for the next day's drive .
