8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

A return stay here as it’s a great historical property with lovely grounds and facilities. Great gym and pool. Rooms are pet friendly but I didn’t appreciate the dog bowl and basket in my room since I did not have a pet. They were removed when I asked. The shower mixer was quite old and I could not get cold water for a shower which would probably not be a problem for most people! I stayed for 4 nights. The first two were very noisy with a large group of youngsters having big nights out and making noise in the early hours… on a Monday and Tuesday! after that had better sleep for the last two nights. Great food in the Atrium although pricey. Friendly and helpful staff as always.
