Terrible, disgrace the attude of managers. Not worth the money. A disgrace to treat paying customer
Pros:

Breakfast was awful. Eggs and sausage was well over cooked, bacon was presented with white fat still on it. Poor fruit available, peaches and a bowl of mixed salad. Not impressed having to get your own tea or coffee. In a 4 star hotel. Never had that before. Paying a lot of money to stay there and couldn't be bothered to get their customer tea or coffee served at the table.

Cons:

When the hotel allocate you a room and that is what you expect then that is what you should get. We were put in an attic which was far to hot and a lot smaller than the superior double we paid for. Window could only open 10cm. Asked for fan and told they didn't have one. Asked for a refund and told no. Wanted to leave but couldn't. Made to stay. Spoke with different people about our situation. Nobody interested. Couldn't breath in this room far far to hot. I thought I could pass out. Got up at 4.30am and couldn't go back to sleep for the heat. Hotel didn't care. It was unbearable.
Lunch: Forgot to bring water to the table after asking when placed order. Waitress admitted this. Charged a service charge on our lunch order . Ordered two portions of chips. Time 4.50pm. Both bar people ignored me completely and filled two trays of drink for customer outside. At 5pm eventually got served. When I asked for my order she told me I was to late as it was 5pm she told me to come back at 5.30pm. I told her I had been there since 4.50pm and ignored. I got the chips eventually. We wanted to leave.As this was my husband's birthday and were attending the Landrover Experience the next day this was supposed to be a lovely experience for him. We spent £360 for this hotel. It was a disaster. I was so upset. Speaking with the management they didn't care. We should have had the first floor as allocated but got an attic room. I checked out this room on the second floor and it was indicated it was a classic double not a superior. I want to know why it was changed. It was allocated to us with no indication it may change. So why change us. We complained before 3 pm the check in time. Why not get a paying customer a fan when we had no option to stay there. We felt forced to stay which was horrible.
I will be writing a letter of complaint to the hotel and their head office. This is after speaking to them face to face.

Wij vonde het geweldig! Vooral de service en luxe in het gehele hotel.
Pros:

Het prachtige gebouw, de ligging naast de rivier, het interieur, ontbijt en fijne terras.

Cons:

Het 2pp-bed is vrij smal en kort als je 1.95 lang bent en matras kraakt een beetje. We hadden raam open laten staan en de pech dat precies daaronder ‘s morgens vroeg de vuilnisbakken werden opgehaald.

Very good
Pros:

Beautiful surrounding. Nice room, well decorated and with a significant amount of space as well as large pieces of furniture for clothing and luggage.
The swimming pool and sauna is a real plus to relax after a long walk.

Cons:

The restaurant is excellent though qui the expensive.

Main issue is probably the younger member of the staff not appropriately trained as waiters. They are polite but a bit too hasty and walking a lot with no real goals. As for the bar section, it was unclear if we had to go to the bar to get our drinks or if they would come and, most importantly, the tables were not cleared and cleaned. Maybe they were short of staff.

It won’t stop us for going back, but the experience was somewhat lower than one would expect from such a beautiful and peaceful hotel.

Good but not luxury
Pros:

Glorious location

Cons:

It's the little things. There was a fire exit near our room that the staff obviously use for access. This was slamming shut at 5 a.m. and woke us up a few times. We asked for glasses, but they were dirty. We waited for a good 5 minutes at the check-in desk for someone to attend. The clock didn't work in the room. No answer on the phone for room service. It's minor, but you're paying for a high-quality stay, and it's the small things that make it luxury.
