Very nice stay would happily...

Liked: Great location and full of character. We had a King double which was a good sized room with a nice en-suite. Nice and friendly staff. Good breakfast choices.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike. The only thing I would have liked would be a magnifying mirror in the bathroom to help when applying makeup and a couple of hooks behind the bathroom door for towels and robes.

Enjoyed our stay, lovely location...

Liked: Location, comfortable room, friendly staff, breakfast choices.
Disliked: Attention to deal at breakfast. Slow service, no dirty plates removed from tables around the room. Orders not delivered as ordered. At dinner £7 Fraser salad was very skimpy. Disappointed with the red wine we order (so our fault) but was not as described on wine list.

Really lovely but not worth...

Liked: Lovely food and staff, nice atmosphere in 90% of the venue and lots of different areas to sit / dine / drink watch sport etc.
Disliked: Not worth the £260 a night we paid. Bit sloppy in the rooms - non matching touched up areas of paint for example, broken fan, baking hot room, old shower gel hangers on the wall. No milk in the room for yes and coffee - we found out later it should be offered on check in but it wasn’t. Sad because on the whole it was good just little details let it down.

The perfect getaway if you...

Liked: A beautiful building with modern bedrooms, gorgeous bathrooms and everywhere is pet friendly which was fantastic for us as we brought our dog. The staff were warm and welcoming and food was delicious! We thought it was a lovely idea to add a dog bed, towel and shampoo to the bedroom and our dog loved her sausage at breakfast. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Great location and buildings, and...

Liked: Lovely building,
Disliked: There was obviously a number of new staff in training so a few little points were missed - cold serving plates, lack of serving spoons, mixed up orders and bills, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Shame no local real ales - disappointing.
