Twin room was in an out building, the bed was comfy and the shower (in bath) was good. Let down by poor WiFi and a bathroom mirror only good for anyone 5ft 8 or less. If you have a fear of spiders this is not a good room. I counted 6 large spiders.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The mattress was an item of torture with broken and weak springs. The room had a discarded bottle on the floor, dead flies on the window sill and most of the time the television would not work. The bathroom had severe need of corners cleaning. The towels and bedding were fine and tea/coffee facilities were very good. Not quite a complete disaster but I won't be back.

The property is very old (16th century)and full of character. Each and every member of staff that we met during our 2 day stay were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The food was great.

Assistant Manager

I didn’t catch her name but the young lady who is assistant manager… what a job she does! She looked after reception, was the main waitress, also serving behind the bar. And no one was left waiting whatsoever and all on a night that the hotel was fully booked. Tremendous job!

Apparently it was good enough for Charles II

An ideal base geographically for chosen sight seeing locations along with meeting up with friends. Disappointed that the room was not within the original 17 century building with so much character. I was allocated a ground floor room in a relatively new block at the rear of the property. The room did not really have any wow factor and I got the feeling that these are the rooms provided to workmen during the week. The pop up plug in the sink was missing and the bath plug did'nt fit. There was a hot iron mark on the carpet. Returning from a day out on the second day the door to the room was found wide open. This was addressed with the receptionist who apologized on behalf of the management (whom I never saw), fortunately nothing appeared to be missing. The bar service was good and the staff in general were very friendly. The hot food served was adequate.

Disliked: Amenities
It’s really frustrating as it’s a beautiful property and the front of house staff were lovely. However, the housekeeping need to do a better job with the rooms as they were not well maintained or the cleanest. The kitchen staff barely coped with 12 covers and the food servers didn’t match the description on the menu, nor were the food products used fresh. Extremely disappointing considering the price tag. The heating turned off halfway through the night and our room was freezing. Additionally, the breakfast took far too long and was very basic. Management really need to invest some time and money into the place, especially the dining area as it is dated and tired looking. Despite being a beautiful location/building l would not stay again as I was that disappointed. Once again I would like to highlight, the front of house staff were incredible, the kitchen staff however… either need sacking or retraining.
