Pros:

bell'hotel tipico inglese, una bella foresta dietro comodo per camminare o correre. letto molto comodo . colazione compresa ma alla carta non buffet

Cons:

le finestre della camera da letto sono sigillate essendo unas struttura storica e la camera sapeva molto di muffa , l'unica aria era dall'aria condizionata ma fuori c'erano 20 gradi e dentro la camera andava solo con temperature molto basse. lontano da centri abitati

A very relaxed stay in a lovely space
Pros:

A beautiful stay in what felt like a country setting despite being in London. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

The breakfast had great options and really lovely experience in and of itself.

Cons:

There was quite a lot of noise in the room at night from the bar downstairs, and the vents were also quite loud unfortunately.
The room was super comfortable and it didn't impact the quality of our stay, but just something to note.

A Nigh on Perfect Hotel
Pros:

This is a wonderful hotel and nigh on perfect. An old fashioned radio playing classic FM as I entered the room really set the scene. Complimentary treats and water and an amazing snug room. Lovely food and staff and a stunning building.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Lovely chilled place to visit and stay - the food was delicious and the staff were amazing

Cons:

The only thing which could be improved I know a bit cheeky but as our car is electric we had a bit of a nightmare charging it so a charging point would be great!!!

Very dog friendly, great staff and service, amazing decor!
Pros:

Really welcoming staff and friendly service. Lovely building, clean and comfortable accommodation. Well maintained and great decor. We loved our room, it was 'snug' but not small. Lovely touch with the little chocolates and the dog beds and treats. Lots of parking avaliable. Really lovely area and location too. We loved it!

Cons:

Hard to find anything we didn't like, thought the accommodation was great. Perhaps the bathroom sink was a little small, and the bedroom window didn't have one we could open to let fresh air in. But that's it really, we would 100% stay again.
