Really enjoyed it but very expensive for what you get.
Pros:

Great location, amazing building, lovely food.

Cons:

Felt a bit understaffed. Some areas could do with a bit of love (Rose Garden furniture covered in cobwebs and no cushions). Very expensive drinks.

Overall, the stay was pleasant in some respects, but a few details regarding guest communication and transparency could
Pros:

We like the castle and the outside, the food at the restaurant was good and the dining room too.

Cons:

Here’s a more polished and natural version of your review while keeping the criticism fair and credible:

We were a bit surprised upon arrival that no member of staff accompanied us to our room or provided any initial guidance about the hotel facilities unless we specifically asked.

The room itself felt rather rustic, and unfortunately there was no temperature control available. It became very warm during the night, and with limited ventilation the room felt somewhat stuffy and uncomfortable.

We were also disappointed by the wording regarding the spa facilities. The hotel mentions offering access to its “unique spa,” which gave the impression that pool access was included for guests, whereas we later discovered this required an additional fee. We found this a little misleading and feel the information should be made clearer upfront.

Pros:

The setting is fabulous have been before.

Cons:

Had to wait 15 minutes at Bar to be served, not enough staff on most days
We stayed in a room which was over £800.00 for 3 nights including breakfast.
Room is looking tired all the wood paneling needs varnishing,their has been a water leak in the celing you could see all the water mark and were it had gone black on the wood celing.
Windows draughty.
The last time we stayed the room was better.

Great expectations.
Pros:

Easy fast check in, Our room was Clean well presented comfortable bed and furniture. The building his grand and well decorated not shabby some good contemporary decor with good seating areas to get away, the garden is very nice, plenty of space and flowers, safe for children and elderly, it has a peaceful atmosphere. The Bar area is good, different style has a good vibe but needs better seating. the dinning area is very good, very comfortable low noise level.The Menu is Very good the presentation and quality is excellent,however personally it was under seasoned to my taste. Not really happy with the London Price of the menu, but I guess they must have many happy Londoners coming to stay. Its not good value for what it is trying to do, The service in these areas was good, the staff seemed stretched, more dedicated staff needed or better trained would improve the overhaul experience. In general This four star hotel personally is more a three star as it rests on its historic foundations not on its service, but given all that it was a very pleasant expensive stay for one night and dinner.

Cons:

Not a lot I can say here, overall it was good, for me it did feel a little over priced for dinner, the wine wasn't good for the price, and waiting 25 mins for an aperitif at our table was too long but with one bar/waiter person its not surprising.
Its not a place I shall return to, It didn't feel as grand as the hotel looks, and Four star Hotels should make you want to return. They should be special places with great dedicated staff, who also love to serve and love their Hotel, some get it others don't.
