6/10 Good

Some parts of hotel very tired in desperate need of repair or replace. I believe a refurbishment is imminent, not before time. Staff are good but not sure at the moment that it represents value for money. All felt slightly disjointed, some areas neglected.

Delightful in every way

Wonderful hotel, staff, and food. Very friendly service. Great food for dinner and breakfast. Even reasonably priced. Walking the grounds in the morning before day visitors arrive was incredibly scenic and relaxing. Room was very comfortable and well appointed (appreciate Nespresso machine!)
greg, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but could have been better

Great location for historical hotel but the room was quite basic for what was supposed to be deluxe, although spacious enough and our first night was spoilt by the window having a thin plastic sheet placed along the lower quarter (to allow a portable air conditioning unit to vent), which meant the wind could penetrate and the sound of rain was amplified.
