6.6/10

My stay at the hotel was filled with both charm and frustration. The historical atmosphere of the manor house is truly delightful, along with friendly staff eager to assist. However, the spa area left much to be desired due to its appearance and the overall experience fell short because of thin walls and uncomfortable bedding. If you're after a serene spa experience, this may not be the ideal spot for you.

6.2/10

The hotel has a charming atmosphere and offers great food, but the rooms need updating and the service was inconsistent. While the spa treatments were enjoyable, the facilities fell short of expectations, especially in terms of space and comfort. Overall, there's potential for a lovely stay if some improvements are made.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable but quite dated with peeling paint and a strong bleach smell. It could certainly benefit from a refresh.

Service

5.0

Service felt quite slow and uncoordinated, especially during dinner. It took longer than expected to get attention from the staff, which affected the dining experience.

Location

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds that add to the charm, but the area could use some more vibrant attention to make it feel more welcoming.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While I appreciated the spacious suite upgrade and the friendly staff, there were several issues with cleanliness in the room and the breakfast setup, especially considering the hotel was busy during the holiday. The location had its merits, but it seemed some areas were overlooked in maintenance.

Rooms

The suite we were upgraded to was huge and had a nice bathroom, though it did have some cobwebs and noise from the pipes.

Service

The staff members were really friendly and accommodating; they even made sure our breakfast was hot the next morning.

Location

The hotel itself has historic charm, but we noticed some areas around the courtyard could use more attention.

Dining

The food at dinner was fantastic, especially the lamb shank, but breakfast was a letdown due to long waits and limited options.
