Lovely hotel with tasty food...

Liked: Location was perfect for our trip. Chose the hotel because we wanted something out of town and with a country house hotel feel. Booking staff were so helpful with enquiries in advance. We arrived and book in was easy. Rooms were nice and well appointed and decor of the hotel was tasteful and featured original features. I requested an extra duvet and it appeared. We had booked dinner in the restaurant and the food menu of 2 to 3 courses was tasty, imaginative and well priced. The wine list was good. Service was great. Breakfast was also good and again staff very pleasant and friendly. We checked out and the receptionist helped my.mother to the car which was very sweet of her and much appreciated .
Disliked: Room was a little chilly. The bedroom radiator was tepid. The bathroom cold. I needed to request an extra duvet for my bed (supplied). As expected the room was a little tired but otherwise itbwas well appointed. The shower pressure was pretty poor and despite keeping the shower curtain inside the bath, the bath was slighyly angled so that any water on its edges, ran to the end and poured onto the floor. Could be remedied. Bath had mould staining which again could be dealt with. Portions at dinner were massive. Appreciate HS2 people might need these but I think you could reduce the portion sizes by half and still keep punters happy. My mother had two chicken breasts when one would have sufficed.

Stunning setting, hotel needs redecorating....

Liked: Lovely breakfast.Location was perfect for what we needed. Was lovely to see squirrels and rabbits in the garden. The setting of the hotel is wonderful.
Disliked: Hotel was a bit tired. Really ready for redecorating, stair carpet nearly worn through. Staff weren’t particularly welcoming, receptionist couldn’t even acknowledge us when we left.

Lovely place, would definately go...

Liked: Loved the food, dinner was exquisite!Room was very spacious and comfortable.
Disliked: The restaurant was very cold. Asked for a heater and it was plugged in on the other side of the room facing us so no benefit.Extractor fan in bathroom was very noisy.

Very comfortable and clean

Liked: The room was nicely newly decorated, clean, and bed very comfortable. I slept very well. Dog friendly room, and my dog also loved it he was made to feel very welcome throughout.
Disliked: Didn't seem to have heating on in room which wasn't a problem but may have needed to adjust, couldn't see any temp control. Corridor and stairs looked like it needed a hoover.
