The staff were lovely and keen to accommodate. The grounds are lovely. This is a hotel with potential but a long way to go based on our experience.
The suite we had needed significant maintenance work - smelt of damp, windows painted shut didn’t help us in our attempt to air it, fridge not working and was dirty, sink leaking, cold water tap barely turning on, bath had signs of a leak behind it (we didn’t therefore attempt to use it) and the very generous mastic glob to one side was half attached, and there was paint peeling from the one cabinet. Aircon also appeared not to be working, but given everything else we didn’t further investigate that. No chef at the weekends - we had stayed hoping for good food so that was a shame - but staff were very happy to provide plates and cutlery for our takeaway in the grounds and the bar remained open late for us. Breakfast the next day was a buffet but wasn’t worth it - hard times indeed when even the coffee isn’t any good.
