The hotel was lovely with a nice view of the English countryside and a cozy lounge for drinks. The room was well-decorated with an okay bathroom but it was cold during our stay. It definitely needed updating and wasn't worth £165 for a night.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were good with a comfy bed and large bath towels, but they were a bit chilly until I figured out how to use the heating. The service was fantastic, with spotless rooms and helpful staff. The location was convenient for my interests, although not always straightforward to navigate. The dining was hit and miss, with rushed service but decent food. Overall, a place with potential that could use a bit of updating.

Dining was an excellent experience with a variety of cooked-to-order dishes, though there were minor issues. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few room-related inconveniences.
