Our fourth stay at this hotel - do I need to write more!
Pros:

Our 4th stay at this hotel, our room was spacious and offered a lovely view over the gardens. The breakfast buffet features a wide variety of choices, including a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon, while the dinner menu offers a great range of tasty dishes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially with my grandchildren. Saturday afternoon tea with fresh Earl Grey never disappoints, and we always look forward to our walks around the beautiful lawns and forest area.

Average
Pros:

Friendly bar staff. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Very disappointing meal in the evening. Slow cooked beef looked worse than school dinners. . Was supposed to be with potato wedges, but came with chips. Gravy was like glue and lumpy. All slopped on the plate.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly at both dinner and breakfast. The hotel itself was fine for the price we paid. But it was the staff the making the extra effort that made the positive difference to our stay.

Cons:

Some of the decor in the halls was a bit tired. But the rest of the hotel was fine.

Disappointed stay -
Pros:

The location.
Some of the service received

Cons:

Food was awful
Dirty carpets in room
Curtains hanging off the frame
No bin in room
Dirty bag of cleaning wipes left on bed.
Beds depending on the room as had 3, we're absolutely sunken on the middle and spring can be felt.

Chairs in dining room need replacing as sunken seat due to over use.

Smell in bathroom both downstairs and in room smelt unclean.

Fan in bathroom so loud

No bath mat for shower in bath.

Towels not replaced.

Beds not cleaned

Rooms felt stripped from comfort.

Much lower standard than the basic other hotel chains.

When I spoke to reception about the bed I was offered more duvets to lie on to avoid feeling the spring.

Had awful night sleep, not the best way to start your day.

Photos do not match the reality

It is dated and needs more inspections to check and improve room standards.

Staff training to improve customer service

Checks on food before it goes out.
