Ok and we might go back but it needs a complete re-organisation
Pros:

Very helpful staff despite the hotel being short staffed. Menu was very limited and was not value for money. English breakfast on our first day was ok but continental breakfast on second day was just a joke. The hotel suffers from a lack of permanent manager

Cons:

More organisation. We felt very sorry for the young lady on duty who was excellent but she was hindered by the lack of senior staff

Fit for purpose, excellent staff.
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast. Had lunch there which was great.

Cons:

It is 15th century and wore it well. Very traditional, old y worldy building and had low doorways, sloping floors etc and I had forgotten how annoying they can be at 3am when trying to be quiet 🤫!!!

Pros:

Staff very friendly and accommodating

Cons:

Would have liked better service at Breakfast
The young lady at the bar had too much to do and was on her own
Would have liked a pot of tea or self serve for drinks as always want a few cups rather than one

Lovely room but inhospitable.
Pros:

The room was well designed, comfortable and the best part of the stay.

Cons:

We went down for breakfast at 9.30am. The chef was at a table in the dining room and a young serving person was present. We received no acknowledgement from them on our arrival, I spoke up and asked if we could have breakfast. We were met with a "umm, oh, umm, oh, I suppose so". I really don't want to feel that I am an inconvenience to staff when I am paying to stay with them. We received our breakfast - the staff disappeared and we never saw them again that morning. Would have loved another cup of tea. Oh well.

Very nice place to stay in a beautiful area.
Pros:

Lovely room, comfortable bed, deep bath and loads of hot water. Very good blackout curtains covered the original windowa which also had secondary double glazing. Would be lovely and warm in winter.
Great Missenden looks like a lovely place to visit, too.

Cons:

it's a 17th century building. The room was over the restaurant / bar and the not very loud music that was playing could clearly be heard through the floor! Earplugs and white noise on my iphone helped with sleep.
