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.

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

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

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.
