Too hot

The room was nice, staff fantastic. What annoyed me was there was air con in the room but not working. I asked to be moved and reception said they will get back to me. Guess what they didn’t. I had to sleep in a room with no air con and had an awful sleep as I felt too hot and had to lay over the bedding.

The staff were excellent. The grounds are well kept and peaceful, and although close to a main road it was a pleasure to sit outside. Well done Karen on the front desk for going the extra mile.

Give a member of staff the responsibility for the.

Getting a drink at the bar was preceded by being ignored for 5 minutes before the only helpful member of staff came out of the office and served two of us that had been waiting.

Good Hotel

Check in was seamless. Our room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was amazing and we had options to select from. The only downside to it was the toilet in the room we had wasn’t flushing properly. We complained about it and we got moved to another room which was really impressive. Overall it’s a 9/10 for the amount we paid.
