Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Needs: In-room fridge - cupboard space appears to be there for it; Noise insulation - can hear snoring between floors and can't sleep in with early cleaners; Ergonomic chair to enable prolonged use for work; More attentive serving staff - busy talking or doing other things without looking over; Consistent customer service between staff. Rooms are nice and clean. Afternoon tea is generous.

A place to come back to

Stayed before. Easy check in. Room very nice. Ate in restaurant first night. Very good meal however service was a little slow. Near to where we wanted to visit so will use again. Pleasent location in centre of nice village by the pond. There is an outdoor seating area but we didn't use it during our stay.

Nice room let down by a dripping toilet

Nice clean comfy room, well specced with nice decor, however I booked a room with bed and seperate sofa bed but the room I was given was not this. It just had 1 king size bed. The whole stay was let down by a dripping toilet in the bathroom which went on all night and kept me awake. Very annoying.

Staff at hotel most pleasant & friendly that help make the stay enjoyable. The hotel is clean and rooms are spacious. The food is lovely and freshly cooked. If anything you need just ask and the staff will accommodate if they can. 1 of the best hotels I have stayed in that this was my 2nd stay. A nice quiet location not far by car to main towns.
