An interesting country house hotel. A beautiful building but could do, as I've complained about in other hotel reviews, some proper front end visible management. We were made welcome but for the 5 days we didn't feel "looked after", more that we had to wander around asking for things like food and drink. We were asked each morning whether we were going to eat in or out which was not always easy to know as we left our day plans fairly open. The restaurant is OK but built in the cellar, misses out on the lovely surroundings and lacks any warmth. The food was delicious though. Our room, 31, was above the central stairway next to reception and the bare timber floors meant we could hear every conversation in our room, so we didn't feel entirely relaxed and rested by the time we left. If you are a good sleeper and don't care for personal service, this is a great hotel.
