Lovely stay, would stay again.
Pros:

Very quiet area, lovely building and staff. Our room was upgraded as there was a wedding in the hotel that weekend and so they put us in a room that was furthest away from any noise that might come with that.

Cons:

We were offered a buffet breakfast, not the freshly cooked off the menu as was indicated in the Hotel pack in the room. A bit disappointed as we were looking forward to Eggs Benedict. The overall choice on the buffet breakfast for a 4* hotel was quite limited. It may be because they had a wedding party staying and that's what they offer as part of the wedding package and so offered it to all guests that weekend.

Very disappointed...
Pros:

The actual hotel was stunning.

Cons:

There was a wedding on. If I had know I would never have booked. They were so loud, easy beyond 3am in the morning, so very poor sleep.

The room had mould and damp. Everything was very tired.

The lighters didn't work, when I pulled the bedside table out to find a plug socket, it was disgustingly dirty. Old nails, dust, skin flakes, vile.

The shower pressure was poor.

Breakfast was not good value for money. It was warm and not well cooked.

Overall, very disappointed with the hotel and I won't recommend our return.

Fair value for the price I paid.
Pros:

Property itself is very nice and surrounded by greenery (and also surrounded by other houses, i must mention).

Cons:

There is poor sound proofing between rooms (I stayed on ground floor) so could hear tv, songs, couple talking and snoring from my room :-(.

Double room given to me (no.6 on ground floor) is a bit cramped and bathroom is smaller too.
