Liked that it was very cosy, very comfortable bed, exceptionally helpful and polite staff. Liked the dining room and bar areas and the open fires. Impressive to see the pool and tennis courts. Very comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely go back. Wasn't expecting nearly as much as it delivered. Small constructive criticisms: shampoo is in a container that is inaccessible from the bath; be good to have some loose soap for use there. The exterior (and some interior areas) could do with redecoration - peeling paint etc. However great venue.

Hotel is great and of a period feels. Plenty of parking and the rooms are excellent. Corridors are very dated though. Needs some investment imo.

Stayed for two days. Room key didn't work a couple of times, had to walk down the stairs to get it fixed. Overall, nice environment, enjoyed the quiet. Swimming pool, spa, sauna and gym all worth it.
