- Yappy dogs in the restaurant , if they can't sit still and be quiet they need to leave ... or be asked to sit outside. There needs to a least be a sign telling owners that they can't just assume that everyone is a dog lover.

+ The breakfast was wonderful, truly all-inclusive. The rooms themselves were gorgeous and well-appointed, very comfortable, and very quiet. The bathrooms were all done in a modern style that was both refreshing and gave a nod to the history. In general a beautiful stay and very convenient considering our odd travel requirements and attending a wedding at nearby Newton Hall. A very comfortable stay. The staff were also exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
− Because it's northern England, the bathrooms didn't always dry all the way before you needed to use them again. Not the hotel's fault! Because there was so much turnaround in the rooms as well (due to weddings at Newton Hall and our own annoyingly complex travel requirements), it was a little disappointing we weren't able to check out a bit later given that we were staying for two nights, just in different rooms. Understood that it's difficult with the timing of the maid service and whatnot, but would have made it a bit more convenient, especially as we were traveling from west coast USA and were jetlagged. But that's our own problem, not the hotel's fault.

+ Everything was stunning, loved the room, the food, the hot tub was gorgeous
− Only sticking point was on checking out we encountered a very rude, aggressive staff member. Little misunderstanding on parking, nobody had taken our reg the night before otherwise we could’ve moved immediately but we had apologised and she still continued to make an issue of it even though we were leaving! Disappointed. Had such a nice night to wake up to that, wasn’t the nicest way to end the stay.
