The garden room was spacious, providing direct access to the grounds. A nice touch. the staff delivered attentive service. I did appreciate that. the cocktails at the bar tasted gorgeous! the wood fired cookery course was also a great amenity.
The music played seemed cheap. It reminded me of an 80's department store, which seemed a bit out of place for the hotel.

Decent stay but some issues noted
warm roomslow service
The room was too warm. I could not adjust the temperature (even with the windows open). This made sleeping difficult. the service in the dining area was slow during peak hours. It sometimes took a while to get the attention of the staff. A more attentive approach would improve the dining experience (I had to ask twice for water).

lovely stay and chefs table experience!
attentive staffdetailed explanationfriendly chefchefs table
I stayed at this hotel last week and it was charming. i booked the chefs table that overlooked the kitchen. It was amazing to see the food being prepared. the chef, master chef winner tom hamblet, was friendly and described each of the six courses in detail. all the staff were attentive and helpful. They made sure i had everything i needed. tom even took photos and spoke with me after the meal.
The breakfast got quite busy because of a wedding party. It made things a little hectic.

i especially enjoyed the sundial garden and the chapel ruins. the car park was surprisingly well-designed, it was a thoughtful feature.
the receptionist, while perhaps new, didn't offer a very warm welcome. i felt that more training might enhance the initial guest experience, crucial for setting the tone.
