Spent one night here in November after attending a wedding in the area. If a lot of money was spent on it this hotel has great potential as it has lovely grounds.
On the plus side our room was large and bathroom a good size too, bed comfortable. But furnishings and decor all a bit faded. Also to get to our room we had to pass through a corridor of rather tatty decorations leading to Santa's grotto!
Breakfast was adequate but served in bar which was not very inviting. Staff friendly enough and service ok
Whole place seemed more suitable for the business travellor rather than those looking for any sort of ambiance. No 24 hour reception so have to ring to get in late at night.
OK for one short night but would not want to stay any longer, no atmosphere, unattractive bar and lobby and unsatisfactory breakfast arrangements.
