"The hotel is characterful and in keeping with its era and location, it's a country house with open fires which is very much to our preference over modern soul-less buildings."

Underwhelming Stay

dirty room peeling wallpaper

The gardens looked nice.

My room wasn't clean I found a sock on the floor. The hotel also needs some maintenance such as fixing wallpaper and patching the mould on the windows.
