great opening timescomfortable roomnice evening food
i was thrilled with the gym, it featured great opening times. i was able to work out at 6:30 am before my meeting. the food in the evening tasted really nice and the rooms felt comfortable.
The tile grout in the bathroom looked mouldy. It certainly seemed like better days had passed.

Underwhelming stay. Needs improvement
decorated manorinefficient staffundrinkable tap water
The manor was well decorated. I'll give them that.
the restaurant staff was surprisingly inefficient. i waited an absurd amount of time, like 35 minutes, for a single drink at the bar. the tap water in the room also tasted funky, so i could not drink it.
