underwhelming experience

undercooked roast potatoslacking options
i booked the festive feast, it was on a sunday. it cost £55 per person. the hotel looked beautiful and it was decorated nicely. however, the options were lacking for that price. roast potatos were undercooked. i didn't see any pigs in blankets.

spacious roomatmospheric settingexcellent breakfast
i stayed in an estate patio room! the room was spacious. it was lovely to walk straight onto the patio with a view of the grounds. the grounds were great for a morning stroll. the fox bar offered a really good wine list in an atmospheric setting! the breakfast was excellent in the potting shed.
i didn't feel we had a very nice welcome at check-in. the decor could use some updates.

adequate stay, some issues encountered

flat beerkitchen extractor
The room faced the kitchen extractor fan. It smelled of cooking. i was disappointed by the lack of choice for non-alcoholic drinks. the beer i ordered was flat. these issues detracted from the overall experience. the staff did not seem to care much about complaints, frustrating.
