Value for money but only because it’s cheap
Cons:

I stayed in the coaching house and it was very tired and in need of renovation, the bathroom light barely worked and the room was very dark. All of the furniture was very tatty.

Beautiful setting, shame on the staff and the property needing updating
Pros:

The setting was beautiful, lovely grounds and building

Cons:

Very drab decor really needs a refresh. Disappointed with the tea tray and crack on the sink in bathroom. Upon arrival staff booked us in and then sent us off to find the room with no instructions. In the morning we had to wander around to attempt to find breakfast. The breakfast spread was shocking, there is better breakfast at holiday inn.

Lovely staff but room certainly felt like it is a 'booking.com' room.
Pros:

I stayed here as I was helping a friend move house. Location was ideal as it was 5 miles away from their new home and 10 miles from the old one. I checked in late, about 21:30. The night porter checked me in, he was really friendly and more than happy to show me where to go. My five minutes checking in with him was the highlight of the stay. He confirmed I could come back later on and he'd be around if the building was locked.

I also liked the building, the ascetics and age gave it a lovely Welsh manor feel. The multiple stairways certainly added to it's character and charm.

Cons:

The room I stayed in could have been lovely. It appeared to have been recently decorated (in the last year maybe) but the carpet was very old and covered in marks and stains. I'm not sure when the room was last used as the radiator was on maximum, even though it had been 19 degrees all day - it was like walking into a sauna. The room was really dusty to the point the cups also had a layer of dust sat in the bottom of them, there was also quite a bit of hair on the floor and behind the bed. The furniture looked like it had just been haphazardly thrown in, the bed side tables weren't near the bed. The window blind was broken, you couldn't rotate them to block out light. I checked in late and returned to the room at 11pm, was too tired from moving to report it so I made some temporary curtains with the towels and put my suitcase and clothes in front of them to try and block out the light. Certainly made trying to cool the room down hard as colder air couldnt get in past the wall i'd made. The bed had a thin spring matress on it and while it was comfortable to lay on, after a long day, the springs twanged when you moved on it. Generally the room felt dirty but I needed a bed and a shower and that's all I can say this room was useful for. Shower head and soap dispensing bottle was covered in black mould.

It's not the worst place I've stayed in for uncleanliness but it's certainly in my bottom 5. Shame as I'm sure it's usually alot better, felt like the room I had hadn't be used for a while so didn't require a clean close to my stay.
