    Room cost was £120, was very spacious but was quite 'tired' in places, the glass holder in the bathroom was quite lose above the sink, there were white marks around the door inside the room which didn't look very nice, wallpaper behind radiator was coming away. We do appreciate that it is an old building but these issues could be resolved.

    Loved the area, very peaceful, fabulous building, loved learning about the history of it. Fab room, very spacious, had lovely night's sleep, food good, service okay.

    The young staff serving the evening meal didn’t have much customer service skill. When an item on the menu was queried, our server did not have a clue as to what the menu was and we were waiting for a while for condiments to be brought to the table after our meals were served. It didn’t ruin our experience as everything was wonderful, although management should definitely ensure the serving staff are aware of what they are serving and maybe teach some customer service skills

    The bar tender Oliver was absolutely spot on. He could not do enough for us during our stay. He is a hard worker with fantastic customer service skills. I hope his manager is aware that he goes well above and beyond for his guests

    On day one, the main food choice on the menu was unavailable. We should have been told before we ordered. We dined with friends and one meal served 20 mins after everyone else. No vegetarian sausage on day 1. Day 2 got the wine order wrong at dinner. Breakfast was beyond belief 3 orders lost. Must have been a 45 minute wait before it was served. Billing incorrect for all rooms.

    The room was beautiful, as was the setting. Plenty of hot water. Large towels, great shower. Lots of free parking. The quality of the food we had was good but service left a lot to be desired. See following paragraph..

    the dinner menu was the same every night ,although we did not have children the menu did not cater for them at all. it was very limited if you wanted steak there was a £9.95 supplement apart from steak there were two fish dishes and belly fat (sorry pork).the breakfast although was excellent and the waiting staff were first class nothing was too much trouble

    avoid room 11 which was allocated to us on arrival the boiler is just behind the headboard and fired up every 1/2 hour through the night .every time someone ran any water the bath GURGLED so loud it woke you up ,my wife slept on the floor as far away from the boiler noise as possible (do you get the worst room when you book through booking .com) we asked next morning to be moved which they did without any fuss ,we were told to pack our bags and go and enjoy the day and when the new room was ready they would move our bags for us .the second room was a lot better

    The staff, facilities, food, beds and surroundings were all fantastic. I hadn't researched this property so I did not know what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised

    Room was nothing like we’d expected (in comparison to web site advertisement). Very low beam that was awkward to negotiate. Very tight for space around the bed area. Felt a bit like we’d been put into the ‘cheap seats’. Requested we move room but none available.

    Staff and meals very good

    We were a little disappointed in our room, especially after seeing some of the others. Tbf to the hotel, we did book last minute and so were happy to get anything on a bank holiday weekend, but we would have loved a bigger room with a nicer view. Plus the ladies serving breakfast, although very pleasant and polite, did not seem to be as organised as the dinner time service, a few things were missing such as milk jug, cups and jams, and the breakfast was a little late coming.

    Loved the house, absolutely stunning. The food was excellent, and the staff were superb, especially the young man who was waiting tables, running the bar and everything in between. He was polite, cheerful and did an excellent job.

    We had to wait for table service a little while and they forgot to bring our drink - i think they were a bit understaffed.

    Nice rooms, comfortable bed, good location, very clean, and the food was very nice.

    Beautiful interesting building but requires some maintenance. A challenge with any old building is always keeping on top of things. Everywhere was fresh and clean but the bad weather caused some leaks and carpets in the main hallway showed evidence of staining.

    Good menu choice and tasty food. Large bedroom room with nice bathroom.

    The stairs to our bedroom but next time I will ask for a lower floor, there was also a big dog barking probably from one of the neighbouring houses Apart from that all was good

    Lovely stay breakfast was delicious, staff very friendly Our room was large and we were on the top floor room 11, I think we had the boiler system behind the panel behind our bed as it kept coming on and going off just before we went to bed
