  Pros

  Consistenly freindly and welcoming staff from manger to cleaners. Excellent restaurant is the star feature here. Rooms are clean and comfortable and uniquely furnished giving them chamr and character. Excellent for a 3 star category.

  Cons

  With a little extra effort this hotel could achieve a fourth star - e.g. stereo in bedroom, fresh coffee rather than instant with the in room facilities (although room service prompt and good) and perhaps a minibar to make up for the lack of night porter.

  Pros

  The views from the gardens were lovely, the house itself atmospheric, a nice ambience if a little gloomy in our pannelled room on a dull January(not the main restaurant which looked bright and inviting) . 16 of us went for a 90th birthday celebration.

  Cons

  Menu and quality of food unanimously poor- faggots (despite specific early request for no offal, waiter clueless),overcooked vegetarian pasta so bad it wasn't finished, waiters kept interrupting conversations to ask what people had ordered, we had to go and find someone for sugar for coffee, I could go on... so disappointing, the best that can be said is great petit fours and bread.

  Pros

  I left comments on Sunday after a less than satisfactory meal the night before. I have now received a call from the restaurant - they could not have been more apologetic; and I am now fully satisfied.

  Cons

  Pros

  The restaurant as a good ambience.

  Cons

  Being asked by the waiter - as there were no vegetarian min courses - would I like fish? And then being offered just one vegetarian course: mushroom pasta. Being talked to as if I was some sort of sub-human for not wishing to eat meat or fish.

  Pros

  A small hotel with restaurant worthy of a gastronomic country jaunt. One would expect décor to be classic in a building dating back to 1400’s, but don’t expect dishes to be served in straight classic style. Fresh flavours are produced with a fair portion of imagination. Start with langoustine

  Cons

  Not a fan of very olde worlde style with heavy dark panelling, so wouldn't want to stay.
