We stayed here with our two-year old. Firstly the positives:
- Stunning gardens and views. Gardens are immaculately kept.
- Use of pool was a real bonus.
- Clean, well-furnised, and comfortable bedrooms with everything you need including toiletries, refreshments and bathrooms. Great hairdryer.
- Fantastic shower with excellent pressure and temperature.
- Fabulous and friendly housekeepers. They made us feel welcome.
The areas I think could be improved:
- Breakfast started well on the weekend, but deteriorated over the week. Still adequate, but a but disappointing, especially when the cafetiere was replaced with little cups of coffee.
- There was no bar service after about 9pm. We like quiet places, but it would have been nice to have been able to get a drink on a night.
- It seemed like the management are missing a trick somewhere. It was the height of summer and it seemed quite under occupied.
- Finally, a lot of the facilities that are listed on the website did not exist when we got there. There was no cake on arrival, no sherry decanter in the room, no lunchtime service. I get the feeling that there might be some kind of financial struggle or cost cutting going on.
Overall, we had an enjoyable stay and it really was a beautiful hotel and it would be a shame for it to lose it's charm through cutting back too much.
