Good Points: location, style of rooms and breakfast !
Further Comments: The hotel is set back in a lovely location with a very nice local pub at the end of the drive ! The decor was very comfortable and the rooms were very nicely presented with good quality furniture and lovely en-suite bathroom. Breakfast, although a bit expensive, was fantastic, very good quality food was used with lots of choice to suit every taste. All staff were very helpful and accomodating, lovely place to stay.

Good Points: nice surroundings, clean, friendly staff
Bad Points: room was grade below what was originally paid for, general maintenence of room poor.
Further Comments: easy to find, nice surroundings and buildings, check in was efficient. Paid for the upgraded room with bath rather than shower but only got a shower, which didn't work. mini bar fridge and heating wasn't working either. sheet on bed torn. in spite of this we enjoyed our stay, i think we were just unlucky. there was a wedding that night which we wasn't informed of when booking, which may have also been why the hotel was unable to place us in the correct room.

Good Points: The room was excellent although it could have been improved if the bathroom door had been refurbished (old fittings one of which had dropped off and had been placed on a shelf). The staff were very friendly and helpful - particularly the receptionist. The layout of the room was good.
Bad Points: The shower was awkward to use - needed a Hans Grohe fitting where you simply dial the temperature and turn on the shower. There were also no forms for booking an early morning breakfast in the room.
Further Comments: I would have liked to have known that there was a wedding reception. Guests should always be given this information at the time of booking.

Good Points: Nice clean and well cared for hotel. Room well equipped but a little disappointing as it was a superior room
Bad Points: No robes in room. There was a TV in the bar area which made conversation difficult. Should have been switched off during the evening.

Good Points: I liked the size of the room and the facilities available. The setting of the hotel is perfect and the breakfast was amazing for choice and quality.
Bad Points: The shower was extremely poor and only dripped water.
Further Comments: If you want to stay in a city but feel like you are in the countryside then this is the place to stay. The food is expensive but of excellent quality and the staff are wonderful.

Good Points: Good breakfast but the full English supplied did not correspond with the menu.
Bad Points: Bedside lightbulb missing. Top broken on bathroom bin. Administration fee for using credit card to pay. Having to opt out of a donation to charity rather than opting in. Hence ￂﾣ3.00 added to a dear price of ￂﾣ94.00 for B&B. Reception staff unhelpful; not able to direct to the District General Hospital.
