Abysmal.
Pros:

The location was good. Near to river walks and the butterfly zoo.

Cons:

Our restaurant service was poor. There was food on the floor under some tables, which hadn't been cleaned up. We waited 25minutes after being seated then had to go back into the bar and ask to have our order taken. The lasagne I ordered was Luke warm, not very edible, obviously previously frozen.We ordered a pudding but never recieved it after another 25 minutes we gave up and left. The following morning we had water coming through the ceiling above the bed and onto the floor, soaking the carpet. Despite reporting it immediately, nothing was done. We had a neighbouring room, where loud TV was playing until 11.15 PM. All in all not a pleasant 2 days. We wont be back. Sorry.

Pros:

Ordinary meals were brilliant.

Cons:

Gluten free meals could use a little more imagination. Nothing wrong with them but a little bit more gluten free flare would be the icing on the cake.

Lovely stay. Manor full of character & history.
Pros:

Lovely Birthday stay at the Old Court Manor. The building is full of character and history built in 1570 with a stunning Tudor Dining Hall. Attic room was quirky and comfortable. Big Beer garden is pretty. Lots to do nearby. Staff were great. Gets very busy on wknd so book restaurant.

Cons:

Would have liked to see salmon or seabass on menu but menu was good and cooked well and waitress staff were friendly. Lovely dining hall.

Pros:

The staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The bathroom in the room looked like it had a refurb, which was nice. However. The room was shabby as well as all the other communal spaces. We had some pipes that ran through the built in wardrobes. It sounded like we had a permanent water feature next to the bed.

Fabulous, friendly staff who did everything to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Fabulous, friendly staff who did everything to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

A couple of the big four poster rooms are accessed by a complicated route through the old building which, whilst ok for us as the staff kindly helped us take our luggage up with our baby, those who are less physically able might struggle with it - just to note it would be useful on the room when booking.

Lovely hotel and staff, a little tired.
Pros:

The small four poster room was pretty. Good conservation efforts.

Cons:

The rooms are tired, still pretty but in need of a good deep redecorate. Some floorboard attention would also be good. Some cracked floor tiles in the bathroom and a mouldy/marked extractor fan. We also felt that breakfast should be included.
