A very pleasant stay, but service sometimes a little rough around the edges. This hotel is centered around a historic manor house with contemporary wings leading off from it.
'the Club' fitness centre is a short walk apart from the hotel and offers a generous size pool with sauna, steam room and jucuzzi. I was a little wary of the policy of giving your room number and handing over the room card as someone unscrupulous could easily ask for return of another's card by listning for the number as it was given.

The staff were largely friendly and attentive but we also had times where they were overly familiar or couldn't speak basic English despite waiting tables.
Our experience was not let down by these small niggles however and we had an enjoyable stay which (for the quality of the setting and facilities) was reasonably priced. Would recommend for anyone seeking accommodation in the area.
