On the positive side, the hotel is a pleasant setting. However, the check-in process was slow and not very informative. The internet wasn’t working anywhere in the hotel, and with no mobile signal available, we were unable to communicate with our family. The room also had several cobwebs, many within easy reach, which made us question how thoroughly it had been cleaned. Just after midnight, we were woken by drunk guests returning to the room next door, and the noise continued for some time. We visited the bar and restaurant, but they also fell short of expectations. The staff were friendly and hardworking, but service was quite slow, particularly for drinks; on one occasion, it took 30 minutes to receive a drink. There appeared to be a lack of organisation, with staff needing to go across the road to the pub to collect condiments and drinks. Of the two meals we ordered, the steak was fine, but the cod was unfortunately quite poor, it certainly wasn't fresh. Additionally, several drinks listed on the menu were unavailable. Upon checking out we were not asked how our stay was and if everything had been okay.

Rooms are nice, with great facilities in room and also on site. Restaurant has great food. However there is an inherent problem with the WiFi connectivity at this location and being in a valley the mobile signal is none existent in rooms also. For those travelling for business like myself, and working with confidential data, connecting to a hotspot in a bar is less than ideal. With no mobile signal in rooms is borderline dangerous as you are uncontactable should any emergency occur. It’s my 3rd or 4th time staying and only once has the WiFi been working properly, so don’t be led to believe it’s a temporary or one off issue upon arrival. It’s such a shame as it’s a fantastic location and should the WiFi be sorted, would stay there more often.

Disliked: Amenities
The first time ever we left a weekend break a day early. The room was unbearable. So hot even with heating off and windows open. Very noisy it felt like we were sleeping in a boiler room. The bed was uncomfortable we had to ask for extra pillows to fill the gap between the bed and mattress as the pillows disappeared down the gap during the night. The sheets rustled like a crisp packet. The hotel had no WiFi which reception made out was a temporary problem but had a sign printed and framed! After reading previous reviews this is a longer term problem. This was not a 4 star hotel as advertised.

Non existent customer service. No wifi at all during the stay, room lacked basic amenities, only toiletries provided in the room were shower gel and shampoo, 1 roll of toilet paper. Room needed some basic maintenance as wallpaper was cracking as well as the ceiling paint. we had a broken light switch, reported to front desk and no one was sent to fix it. My partner called ahead of time as we got engaged the day we checked in and was assured they would set special something up in our room. They did not accommodate this request, he spoke to concierge about this and the lady could not have cared less. A real shame as the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the bar staff were lovely, however the maintained rooms and poor customer service/ lack of care was a real turn off and a disappointing stay as a result.

Breakfast was far too expensive for what it is. Check out was a nightmare. Had to wait for them to walk across to the other hotel to check I’d paid then came back and confirmed I had. I then asked for the invoice and was told I would have to walk over there myself to get it!

£190 for a room that doesn’t have WiFi in 2025 is unacceptable. Room poorly maintained, lights not working, towel rail not working, bed headboard all dislodged. Breakfast was in a pub across the street (not ideal) half an hour from order taken to food arriving and then they got it wrong. Cold tea as well. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

This is far from a 5 star hotel! Not sure who or how they got that rating. The rooms and corridors were not clean. Heavy dirt and cobwebs all over fans and room corners. We realize this is a 600+ year old hotel but the linens, drapes and fabric decor are in dire need of updating. The staff was not warm and friendly here either relative to all of the other hotels we stayed at during our 2 week UK visit. Very disappointed since this was our last night in England.
