Acceptable stay overall
good parking polite waiter fresh milk nice toiletries few sockets small bathroom fixed screen tap access
The parking availability was definitely a plus. I appreciated the good breakfast offered at the restaurant. The breakfast waiter was very polite and efficient. The room had nice toiletries and fresh milk.
My room lacked plug sockets. I had to move furniture to charge my phone. The bathroom was small. It was hard to access the taps due to a fixed shower screen. Extra shower products were not available.

buggy service helpful staff breakfast options worn furnishings overpriced wine peeling paintwork
The buggy service to Burghley Horse Trials was useful. Breakfast included imaginative options. I found the staff very friendly and helpful.
The wine was a bit overpriced. I saw some peeling paintwork. I noticed slightly worn furnishings in the building.

Balanced experience
historical surrounding outside space peeling wallpaper mould smell
The hotel is in a great location. The historical surroundings were appreciated and i liked the outdoor space.
The room i stayed in was a bit disappointing. Some of the wallpaper was peeling off and the paintwork on the skirting boards looked worn. The bathroom smelled of mould and the tile grout looked grey and black.
