Great value for money, beautiful hotel
The hotel is absolutely stunning. Beautiful grounds, very relaxing bar and our apartment was very quiet, clean and comfortable. Excellent value for money. Only point lost was the breakfast which was average and food/coffee ran out due to the number of guests eating breakfast.

Nice old character building. Good Spa facilities, staff friendly & helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Need to focus on cleaning though, using a hover in the public area especially dining room & focus on the cobwebs around windows. Overall a nice stay.

Poor Front Desk Staff / Great Views / Tired Hotel
I stayed 3 times in a short space of time for a business trip. I booked on Hotels.com and was never given the room type paid for, each time I was given a downgrade at what would have been a significantly less cost. Staff on the front desk were poor to say the least. However the duty manager was great speaking at breakfast the next day however this was check out morning for me. The hotel is tired, but has a great feel about it. Breakfast was good, in amazing surroundings. Gym / Pool are again tired and unclean, but serves a purpose at the price. Walls are thin (odd for such an old building) so sound is also an issue in the evening.

Comfortable, clean and well managed hotel. Some chairs and carpet showed signs of wear but this only added to the ambience of the beautiful mature building from which we took home a happy and lasting memory.

Not the best
Ok , food and drink grossly over priced compared to other hotels. The dining menu was terrible no steak or grill choices , ordered fish n chips which turned out to be a few frozen chips and a frozen fish , not what I would expect for a top end price. Rooms are clean but very tired. Place is under staffed. I had my team there 14 of us and they shut the bar at 9.50 even though plenty of drinks being purchased.

A beautiful GradeII listed building, a superb spa facility and excellent food but it was let down by dreadful service from the front of house staff. On arrival we were greeted by ‘you alright’ - we expected perhaps ‘good evening, how can I help?’ Or something similar. We were then told our room number and where it was and as no further information seemed to be forthcoming we had to ask questions to ascertain what time breakfast was, where it was, where the bar was, where the spa was, did we need to book anything etc etc. Surely guests need to know this information and so it should be naturally volunteered? The spa was superb but the staff were lackadaisical and disinterested. For many people it might be the 1st time there and volunteer how to get into the outside pool? That padlocks are available for a refundable £1? Finally….dinner!!! We had a reservation for 1915. We arrived on time and waited by the sign…no staff. We popped our heads in the dining room and got some attention and were seated. We then sat for 30 mins before any order for drinks or food was taken. 15 mins later we saw our wine arrive in the room - it was delivered to us 5 mins later. White wine….which was definitely not cold. We asked for ice to cool it - twice we did this before served. Food was excellent but after finishing, waiting for plates to be cleared and dessert offered for another 25 mins we gave up and left. There was a function going on but things shouldn’t compromise service for other guests.

Very nice stay
Stayed twice in two weeks first for business, I had a beautiful room , the following week I stayed with my wife but as hotel full I got a room in what we called ’steerage’ the room was so hot it was uncomfortable even with windows open and for some reason we both felt unwell staying in that room but felt better when we went upstairs. Both occasions of stay the rest of the hotel was very good . I think one of the bar staff could do with a check on his attitude as it was commented by a couple of colleagues but this was very small and didn’t really affect me. the hotel and staff are great and I would definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel
The hotel was lovely as it’s in a great location and has a nice garden area but some things in the spa wasn’t so great foot spa wasn’t working one of the pool was also not in use most importantly there was no drinking water in the spa area you had to go out in the cold to get water also on the website it’s said bath robes were included but it wasn’t you had to pay extra to get one. in the end I got ill however restaurant, food and service was great. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend it.

Check in was quick and easy , reception staff friendly . On entry to our room it’s dated , carpet very worn curtains torn and pelmet hanging off . On the window cill there were 2 dead ladybirds which made us think that the room hadn’t been cleaned . There were also flys in the room this raised alarm bells and we made our way back to reception . There were quite a few people waiting to be checked in so we waited to speak to staff when was quieter . As soon as we raised our concerns we was upgraded to the other side of the hotel in the Henry suite . Nice room still dated but clean . Beds comfortable and slept well . Breakfast next morning was good with a wide choice from hot food to cereal and pastries. Would we stay again unfortunately not .

Charming stay
Gorgeous building, slightly tired but charming old interior. Well cleaned. Breakfast was just average, self service hot food that was only warm and new toaster needed - options were either anaemic or burnt. Bed was very comfortable except pillows. Didn't like how dogs were allowed in the dining areas while we're were eating.
