+ The hotel is beautiful, and full of character, and our room was gorgeous and very clean. All the staff were very helpful and polite during the whole time we were there. We were attending a family wedding, and the room (Chapel) for the ceremony was so beautiful too. The room where we had the 'Wedding breakfast/meal' was decorated so lovely and the meal was delicious (especially for me as a vegetarian) ... nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were always very helpful and courteous. 😍 We slept in, so we missed our breakfast 😀 The hotel is beautiful, and full of character, and our room was gorgeous and very clean. All the staff were very help...
- We were attending a relatives wedding and it was surprising and disappointing that the beautiful terrace was not open after 9pm ... this would have been so beneficial to the wedding party as the front of the hotel is on a main road and just a car park out the back. There were very sad circumstances around their wedding (which obviously the hotel were aware of 😔) and having that beautiful terrace open to them later than 9pm would have made such a difference and been so beneficial to them. We were attending a relatives wedding and it was surprising and disappointing that the beautiful terrace was not open...

+ Myself & my colleague enjoyed the very clean, neat and organised rooms/bathroom. We felt we had everything we needed supplied in the room for example, tea/coffee. The front of house staff that night were very accommodating, making us feel very welcome and warm no matter how late at night it was.
− We can't say there was anything we disliked

+ We were a late arrival and having emailed ahead to ask that the room have the windows left open and a fan on with the curtains mostly pulled as it was such hot weather that week, we were very pleased to see that this had been done as I had tried calling five times whilst on route (a five hour drive), to ensure all had been done as asked but the phone never was answered or was there any option to leave a message. Still all was well.
− The phone not once being answered after five attempts over a five hour drive to get there.
