Excellent stay and an amazing breakfast on offer.
Pros:

Breakfast was awesome and well worth the extra money, so much fruit tinned and fresh, lots of dried fruit/nuts choices, yoghurt, fruit juices, as much toast and hot food as you would like. Nice bar and atmosphere, friendly staff.

Very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. Fish and chips in the Bistro was excellent. Did not eat in the restaurant as we were visiting family.
We had asked for a quiet room on the ground floor and that is what we were allocated.
Room excellent, comfortable and clean. I had left some belongings behind in error and the staff found them and kept them until someone collected them. I was very grateful.
All staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

All ok. Did not dislike anything.

Grand building with amazing grounds. Customer experience could have been better.
Pros:

Lovely building and location. Plenty of parking. Great facilities.

Cons:

Wasn't made to feel like a valued customer on arrival. Having prepaid on a room only basis, I felt like I wasn't their normal kind of client and so was dismissed to the far side of the hotel.

Fawlty Towers
Pros:

Comfy bed

Cons:

- The shower didn't work on the Sunday morning when we were getting ready to leave, neither did the one in my son's room next door, or the one my brother was using on the floor below. We reported this to reception staff when we were leaving and were asked to contact the hotel manager, who (via e-mail) has since brushed it off and insinuated that we were telling tales to get compensation (as the shower was working the next day when there were likely hardly any people using them in the hotel).
- The extract fan in the bathroom wasn't working.
- Our room had opaque film on the window. When the window was opened there was the wall of another part of the hotel directly behind it. This was the same in my son's & brother's rooms. This is not mentioned on the booking website so beware if you want a room with a view.
- We left the window open when we were out during the evening and had a couple of mosquitos in the room when we returned.
- Having the window opened also left a drain smell in the room which took a while to get rid of after the window was closed.
- The hotel is very dated inside.
- A few days before we were due to arrive at the hotel we got a message to say that there was a function on during our stay. This was a wedding so we had to live through the inevitable dull thudding of the disco until late into the night.
- Breakfasts are extra, so beware of that!
- The use of the spa facilities are extra, so beware of that!

So avoid this place unless you really have to!
