    Room was nothing like we’d expected (in comparison to web site advertisement). Very low beam that was awkward to negotiate. Very tight for space around the bed area. Felt a bit like we’d been put into the ‘cheap seats’. Requested we move room but none available.

    Staff and meals very good

    We were a little disappointed in our room, especially after seeing some of the others. Tbf to the hotel, we did book last minute and so were happy to get anything on a bank holiday weekend, but we would have loved a bigger room with a nicer view. Plus the ladies serving breakfast, although very pleasant and polite, did not seem to be as organised as the dinner time service, a few things were missing such as milk jug, cups and jams, and the breakfast was a little late coming.

    Loved the house, absolutely stunning. The food was excellent, and the staff were superb, especially the young man who was waiting tables, running the bar and everything in between. He was polite, cheerful and did an excellent job.

    We had to wait for table service a little while and they forgot to bring our drink - i think they were a bit understaffed.

    Nice rooms, comfortable bed, good location, very clean, and the food was very nice.

    Beautiful interesting building but requires some maintenance. A challenge with any old building is always keeping on top of things. Everywhere was fresh and clean but the bad weather caused some leaks and carpets in the main hallway showed evidence of staining.

    Good menu choice and tasty food. Large bedroom room with nice bathroom.

    The stairs to our bedroom but next time I will ask for a lower floor, there was also a big dog barking probably from one of the neighbouring houses Apart from that all was good

    Lovely stay breakfast was delicious, staff very friendly Our room was large and we were on the top floor room 11, I think we had the boiler system behind the panel behind our bed as it kept coming on and going off just before we went to bed

    The shower was too hot and the thermostat would not reduce the temperature. The room was too hot on two hot days. The bathroom light needed a new piece of string - the light kept being turned on or off when the door opened or closed!

    The room was well-situated and spacious. The food was very good. The lounge, dining room and bar were excellent. The staff were mostly very professional and all helpful.
