A nice break
Liked: The location is stunning and the bedroom was clean, bed was lovely.
Disliked: We felt that the breakfast offering was adequate but could have had more choice, and some of the hotel felt a little tired.

Lovely but a bit tired.
Liked: The location is quite spectacular. Gardens are lovely. Most of the staff were helpful & friendly.
Disliked: Food took a long time - an hour and a half on my first night. Other customers waited as long. Looks like they need more staff. Rooms were spacious, but in need of some tlc. Enjoyed my stay, though.

We had a great time...
Liked: The location was superb!
Disliked: Clearly not attracting as many clients as at one time but refurb and decor very attractive. I hope it returns to full life. There had been a number of critical reviews which had been unfortunate. The staff were great and very responsive.

Very good
Liked: We had been before and knew how good the location is for Dovedale, Ilam, The Manifold Trail, etc.Our room was large and with great views.The staff were friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The hotel has clearly had some work done in the communal areas. However, the bedrooms are tired, though clean. A larger TV would be a welcome improvement. The staffing levels seem low for the size of the hotel, which was evidenced by the receptionist doubling as barman and by the limited choices available at the evening meal.
