My introduction to this property was less than ideal. I don't think my room had received a thorough turn over from the past guest. Bath mat missing, didn't have the full suite of toiletries. All forgivable, until I wanted to go to bed. Only to find that it had hair (human) everywhere. The night porter kindly moved me to a very beautiful and newly refurbished room but i was disappointed that the manager made no effort to contact me to discuss. A little token of a voucher for the restaurant or spa or a discount on the room would have been appropriate in my opinion. Pity because the property is 500years old and beautiful.

The house is beautiful and the rooms are lovely. Unfortunately I had to move rooms when I realised I could hear the music from the spa very loudly in my room. The second room wasn't much quieter, I could hear very loud footsteps from the people above me and there was a toilet next to my room from which I could hear the door slamming and the toilet flushing throughout the night. I didn't have a good nights sleep the entire time I was there. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to staying here. Everything else was great but I feel the bare minimum you should get from a hotel room is that it it quiet and peaceful. I left feeling tired and upset that I had spent what for me was quite a lot of money on my stay here.
