Underwhelming Stay at a Historic Venue

tranquil settingundercooked artichoke
The gardens were indeed beautiful and offered a tranquil setting.
The room felt quite dated, lacking USB sockets. This is a considerable oversight nowadays. Food quality was also quite disappointing. The artichoke starter was undercooked and bland.

hotel gardenbig arearestaurant foodtired roomalcove accessibilityshower spout
The hotel gardens had a big area. I walked within the hotel. The restaurant food tasted excellent. I tried the Fanhams burger and the peanut and chocolate parfait. They were delicious.
My room looked very tired. The bed was placed in an alcove, so accessibility was difficult. I am seventy-eight. The shower spouts on the side did not work efficiently, so I used the overhead shower.

i stayed for a wedding on june 23rd, 2024 and the hotel facilities were lovely. my wisteria room was gorgeous and the bed felt so comfortable. the in-room amenities were excellent, and i wouldn't hesitate to return. the staff was lovely and breakfast tasted delicious this morning.
i was appalled to see the state of the grounds at a recent wedding, a bit sad. the japanese gardens paths needed raking and weeding.
