The surroundings are outstanding! Wonderful to look at and walk in. The hotel is huge with many ornate and grand rooms to relax in, the room with the large open fire is very welcoming on a cold November evening. Well stocked bar and choice of snooker or pool table with both being free to play. Pool facilities and jacuzzi were good though the pool water was a bit cool for our liking. Our room was very large with sliding doors to a balcony with an outstanding view. Very well stocked facilities in the room. Really comfy bed though note the extra large bed is 2 singles zipped together. Extremely clean and credit to housekeeping as it cant be easy cleaning such large rooms. Though we don't play, the golf course looks well maintained and great surroundings to play in. We didnt eat dinner but the menu looked great and at an expected price range for the style of hotel. For us, this was a more unusual hotel to stay in as we don't usually stay in such "grand" environments and overall it was a great experience with a few niggles
I can't speak for other guests but I could not be the only person annoyed by the incessant door banging in the morning. We were very close to double doors leading to the stairs and whenever anyone went through them, the doors slammed shut. The room doors them selves can only be pulled shut which added to the constant banging around. We could hear conversations from other rooms, toilets flushing and bathroom pull cord lights. This is fine if you are part of the early breakfast crowd because you are also part of the noise but if you are looking for a relaxing lie in, forget it. Breakfast was ok with ample choice but would have been nice if some of the add on's offered for an extra charge would have been part of the normal offering. Overall, it did the job but have had better. The ground floor rooms are beautiful and well filled but the corridors and staircases are sparse with no art work and some haphazard mismatching chairs. The rooms are huge with high ceilings meaning everywhere upstairs just sounds hollow and contributes to the noise levels. This is a truly amazing hotel that feels just a little tired and clinging onto its glory days. Housekeeping and wait staff were friendly as was a lovely lady at reception who helped us with recommendations on local touristy stuff. There seemed a bit of a "stiff upper lip" among some other staff, this may appeal to someone looking for a more formal environment. All of my niggles did not completely spoil my stay as that would be an unfair assessment but it was enough to not look to book again

Beautiful old building and grounds
Bedroom and dining room very dated. No atmosphere in bars or restaurant. Chairs in orangery were filthy.
