Very good

Wait until the remodel is...

Liked: The location of the property is awesome, beautiful views, quiet, pastoral setting.The breakfast area and staff who serve there are top notch. Delicious, full breakfast served very well.
Disliked: This property is midway through an extensive remodel and, I think, should be closed to guests during this process as the noise and mess of construction over-ride any amenities. The regular pricing was unwarranted. I was underwhelmed by the staff who checked us in, not particularly welcoming or helpful. We asked for a fan, as our room was warm, and the young lady was completely disinterested, even though eventually the fan did arrive when we had to ask a second time. The manager of the hotel was equally aloof. Never a kind word or interest in helping. I startled him in the business office when I walked in and he was a deer in headlights.With different management and a completed remodel this property will be stunning. Warning, however, it is being advertised as a wedding venue and, should they decide to also book regular guests at the same time, it will be a real distraction and inconvenience.

Charming place, but level of...

Liked: Beautiful setting and grounds, nice buffet breakfast with hot meal a la carte options, very friendly and helpful restaurant staff.R
Disliked: Room was smaller than expected, and the "garden" view was of a car park ! Misleading advertising !While we appreciate this is a very old building and the floors and walls are not perfect (which does add to the charm), however the bed was on an angle and not at all comfortable. They could have levelled up the bed with some wedges or something similar. There was a lot of construction noise at the time with extensions and renovations, which was right outside our window.Front desk staff service was variable from very helpful on arrival to indifferent during our stay.Lack of block out curtains made it impossible to sleep after 5am due to the time of the year (mid summer).Toilet didn't flush easilyLimited hot water.
