A grand hotel in a beautiful setting however inside there are many areas showing their age. Our room was average and for the money spent would have expected a robe and slippers. Reception staff were excellent but other staff didn’t look happy and not attentive. The bar had a friendly atmosphere but even at a high end drinks were expensive £17 for two standard drinks. Had high expectations but have had better experiences at lesser establishments and won’t be returning.

We have a very unpleasant dinner experience at the hotel. One of the guests could not eat her steak because if was so tough. Staff seemed to be having a dispute about something, then they began to set-up the dinning room, for breakfast while we were still eating our dinner. Very surprised that such a lovely establishment provided such a poor eating experience

Overnight nightmare
We stayed at this hotel overnight in order to break up a longer journey and in order to see a show that was featuring in the theatre. Long story short we barely were able to sleep due to the condition of the floorboards. I would calculate that there was one that DID NOT creak as apposed to the other way around . My husband and I can make frequent bathroom trips during the night so you can imagine the noise every time nature called. Add in to the equation that Room 325 has a bedroom and a small sitting area to walk through before arriving at the toilet! .This was not a cheap overnight as B&B was 325 GBP did we felt really short changed as well as tired. We reported the issue with reception as have had no contact since. Breakfast was standard fare and if wanting anything different like poached eggs or kipper etc there was a hefty surcharge. If they charge a not insubstantial tariff for staying at their hotel they must be prepared to pay to maintain it to a reasonable standard. Positives , plenty of parking, nice grounds and overall cleanliness was good. If staying here avoid room 325.

Poor Front of House Staff - never stayed before and staff just handed the key, had to find our room by ourselves, jacuzzi - had to climb in/out no steps in or any handrail. Room was lovely (Room 111). Evening meal - starter was lovely, main course was basic. Our daughter ordered a bottle of white wine, delivered to our table in a wine cooler with no ice - wine was warm - Cost £50. Left very disappointed in which should of been a lovely stay to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anninversary. :(

The hotels grounds are amazing. Even if you don't stay there, it is worth a visit. The restaurant wasn't very good, and the food was expensive. It seems like the hotel has seen better days. Maybe it was worth the price back in the day, but now seems overpriced .

Valley view room gorgeous
A very warm welcome from reception staff 17/08 where we were provided with a shot of whiskey. The service of staff after check in was disappointing as non of them were interested and only wanted to get the job done and not interact with guests. No warmth from housekeeping or in the restaurant. The bar entertainment was lacklustre and the man performing also looked like he’d rather be elsewhere. We had a lovely valley view room- stunning view and the decor was gorgeous. Had a fan running all night as the heat in the room was exceptional and windows don’t open. Breakfast was quite basic quality food. Plates nice and hot as was the buffet hot food which is a big positive for me.
