Avoid the Gardners Cottage
Pros:

Very good evening meal, lovely grounds and staff

Cons:

Room 49 Gardners Cottage was like a cheap sea side b&b room! Dirty, rattling windows and door, uncomfortable narrow beds, definitely not 4 star.

Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location for exploring the coastline. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The breakfast and evening meal were tasty and well-presented. There was a library room which we found that was quite old-worldly and would be a great place to read /play games on an evening. Also there is lake not far that you can walk around which made for a lovely nature walk one morning. Overall we felt it was good value for money for a mid-week break.

Cons:

For dressing gowns and slippers for the pool area these were where the treatments rooms were- this could have been signposted or they could leave them in the changing areas so it is more obvious where you get these from.

Relaxing mini break in elegant surroundings.
Pros:

Stayed in one of the Coach house rooms. Beautiful large room and large bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Quiet. Main hotel was beautiful, elegant and had comfortable and relaxing public areas such as a library, lounge and bar. Spa and pool area was a bonus and very relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Nice Car Club Weekend
Pros:

Beautiful Hotel in fabulous location. Excellent facilities Spa and pool. Lovely public areas to relax and enjoy.

Cons:

DOGS. Barking and whining. Had to Complain Twice.I didn't expect to pay a premium price for a 4star Hotel to find it's Battersea dogs home. Don't blame the dogs it's the inconsiderate owners leaving an animal in a strange place on it's own. Should be in an area of the hotel away from other residents not only for noise but allergies etc. Duty Manager wasn't present at my time of complaint reception staff said they would pass on my concerns but I never had any messages or contact which I find disappointing for such an Establishment of such Quality.
