Overall good
Staff was very nice and helpful. Bedroom was good, bed on the soft side. Bathroom modernized, but being a bath the shower was a bit weird, as water was going outside. It was ok though and good temperature . The overall room was a bit dated but understandable as it is an old property. Lovely view to next door farms and countryside. A bit of noise could be heard from the next room and even some movement on the wall/ back of the bed. But no outside noises at all. Great lovely gardens and lots of animals around. Spa was very good and lovely outdoors hot tub! Breakfast good, nice dinning area (be sure to reserve your slot on time) . The low points go to the cleaning, it could have been better (some dirt on bathroom and windows). Good location , walk to town. Overall good.

The worst I have ever seen! This is not 4 star hotel and definitely not luxurious. It should be closed down! We've been put in the room with mold and rotten doors! Damp coming through the ceiling and no soap in the shower with lots of red bacteria growing everywhere! We immediately went to reception to ask for a room without the mold and they couldn't care less and said they are fully booked. We had to leave the hotel and the whole bank holiday weekend was ruined because we couldn't get into another hotel due to everywhere being fully booked!
