Lovely spot but more shabby...

Liked: Lovely location
Disliked: Rather tired, the furniture in the sitting rooms was very old and uncomfortable, we asked for a cup of tea when we arrived but as we had missed “high tea” so we were “allowed” a cup of tea but no biscuits or cake etc! On a dirty table. We asked for a small picnic to take on our walk the next day, just a sandwich, told it was ok then rung later to say we had to give them 24 hours notice! The code to get back into the park did not work so my husband had to climb the wall to open the gate not ideal after a 15 mile walk. The overall experience was no one was interested in going the extra mile to accommodate us. Another small but annoying thing the bed pillows were also very old and lumpy. The whole place needs a good shakeup. Maybe a better manager, the potential is there but not quite making it. The food was absolutely delicious and the Samual restaurant staff were very good.

Immaculate, stunning and brilliant all...

Liked: Immaculate service, location and facilities are fantastic.
Disliked: Breakfast wasn’t included in the price

Good, but ultimately a touch...

Liked: The grounds are stunning and we throughly enjoyed our time exploring them. Worth a trip up to the Druid circle although I'd recommend driving unless you're hearty, as it's quite far. The property is beautiful and feels exclusive. The spa facilities are good, especially the pool.
Disliked: Check in wasn't great. Left sitting for 30 minutes as they tried to sort out our which had a plumbing issue, eventually in but the issue hadn't been fixed and we had to move room due to leaky tap. It felt a little long to be left sitting. And then it took around an hour for them to prepare the new room. New room was a suite, but felt tired and the furnishings were a little hard. Layout also a little strange, and shutters were very hard to open. All in all the food was good. Some elements were excellent such as the Sunday lunch and a few of the a la carte options. However both of our desserts were underwhelming and the cost of the breakfast massively put us off. There is no light or small option for those that do not want the full breakfast, such that we decided to have nothing at all on both of our mornings as we couldn't justify spending that much on breakfast. The grounds are beautiful, and the building is stunning but as a hotel there could have been improvements. I would visit the Estate again, but for the high cost you expect at least a 9/10 experience so I'm not sure we'd stay at the hotel again

Lovely hotel but chef's table...
