“Relaxing weekend and good value for money.”

We found the hotel easily and parked without problem. Nice reception staff. We were allocated Room 14 in the lovely old part of the hotel - the decor was tired, windows didn't open, it had the tinest shower tray I have ever seen - a half tray that you couldn't turnaround in (I kid you not# - and the room was a little cramped - more a single occupancy than a double occupancy. That night there was a high school event for 250 youngsters in the rear of the hotel in a marquee and we didn't hear a thing! The next day we had a very, very good breakfast, cooked to order and piping hot. Lovely start to the day. Then alas we had a problem with the room. When we returned after lunch the room had been serviced but the trap in the shower had been lifted, there was deterius in the shower tray and when I flushed the loo it backed up into the shower! Ugh. Reception didn't have anyone who could fix this so we were given another room in the adjacent Priory block #room 59). It would have been nice to have had a hand to decamp but hey ho. Much better room and much more comfortable and this time with a bath but only one set of towels. Help youself was the order the next morning for breakfast but it was very good again - thankyou. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the people were so nice. The hotel is lovely and atmospheric and the grounds are well kept. The value for money was very good. We would stay here again but would not take a standard room in the main house.
