Pros:

Genuinely unique experience! There are creatively decorated rooms and a sprawling garden hiding little trails and secluded benches among towering trees.

Cons:

There are some stairs, if that's a problem for you, but I feel like there will always be an option if you struggle. The staff are welcoming and very helpful.

Had high expectations but were ruined by a minor mistake.
Pros:

Amazing property

Cons:

Staff left an extraction fan on in the bathrooms below our room and there was a loud buzzing all night. We could not sleep at all.
No phone in room or instructions given at check in to call night manager if any issues so just put up with it all night. Told check out staff who said sorry but it was a lot of money for no sleep.

Quaint,.Unique, scenic
Pros:

The countryside setting, the quiet peaceful area, Girls at the reception were fantastic,
Restaurant staff brilliant and attentive and food was excellent

Cons:

Not much wrong here, just one thing would be...if they ask if you want water make sure to say "normal tap" water as accepting the water offer will cost you over 5 pounds...fairly expensive for water in a bottle

Nice atmosphere but slightly too quiet and not getting what you paid for messed up the night for our 10 year anniversary
Pros:

The bar was really cosy

Cons:

The walk to the room at night with a torch that didn’t work wasn’t fun plus it was raining and we wasnt offered an umbrella even tho a couple leaving before us was!! My room I paid for online said I’ll have a balcony and a bath at the bottom of the bed but I was given a different room that had a separate bathroom so took away the feel of excitement for us!!! Plus our bath had jets in it that didn’t work so couldn’t enjoy the bath!!
