We arrived weary from travelling for over 12 hours and in need of a sleep. We were met by a very friendly face at reception and given our room details. On opening the door of our room (no 23) we could smell damp but to be honest the need to sleep for a couple of hours soon made us blind to the smell. On wakening a few hours later though and the heating on in the room the smell was terrible. So much so my wife was having a little trouble breathing. On inspection of the room there was damp and mould on the walls and in a cupboard. In that cupboard was two large packs of disposable dehumidifiers. The room was certainly not fit to be in never mind paying for it. I asked about it at the reception and they knew nothing of the damp or mould problem but were quick in offering a more suitable accommodation. I do hope they sirt out their damp problems and omit guests from the room till they do so. Otherwise a nice warm and friendly hotel.

The hotel was fine for what we needed it for. The building and grounds were nice. However, the room needed a good clean and required updating. We had a window that was broken (and wide open). This was fixed with a small screw and some sellotape which kept it slightly shut but didn't stop wind coming in. We also had a cupboard door that had broken off. These issues didn't make for a good arrival but we were treated to a free pudding for our troubles. Overall, the hotel was ok but not the best. We wouldn't stay again. The lady on reception was great though (Chloe I think).

Old school charm
The hotel is an old building and there are parts which feel quite run down but that did add to the charm of it. The carpets need replacing in parts and the bed I had was very soft. Overall though, the room was larger than average and the welcome i received was lovely. I would stay again.

A beautiful historic building in very well maintained gardens. Lovely pool and Elemis spa area. Dinner in the bar was delicious, staff were very friendly. However, beware if breakfast is not included in your deal, the restaurant tried to charge almost £54 for 2 coffees and 2 breakfast rolls, when we asked why they said it was a basic hot breakfast charge, whether you had a full cooked breakfast or a sausage on a roll, which was 1 sausage cut in half !! We paid £24 after refusing to pay a full breakfast charge.
