    A few more lights on the steps outside of our room, returning late to the room was quite dark on some of the garden steps, the top set of steps were lit but would benefit from the lower few steps being lit, room 44.

    From arrival at reception the staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. Our accommodation was in the old stables on site but a little way from the main hotel in a beautiful setting with the room and bathroom being quite exceptional in both size and cleanliness. There was about 6 to 8 rooms I think and the set up would be absolutely perfect if there was a larger group of family or friends meeting up or away together but still having their own space. Use of the spa facilities included nights price was an added bonus. I would definitely go and stay again.

    I didn't sleep well as the pillows were too flat. Also, there is no flannel in the bathroom. I cant understand why the functions in the bath wernt working. I was looking forward to a long soak. It stated that this was due to health and safety. Very odd The breakfast was delicious. However, we felt it would be best if the toast were brought to the table at the same time as the breakfast as we ate most of it before breakfast arrived. Also the condiments should be on the table as by the time we received them, the breakfast was half eaten. It also saves the poor staff from asking and then having to go and get them. I ordered. 'The Doxford beef burger' and I have to say I was very disappointed. It was so dry and overcooked and needed more sauce.

    The grounds and the beautiful interior. Also, the staff were very attentive and professional

    Spa areas need some TLC. Compared to other spas these days, this one is very dated. 2 points about the room (Coquet). It's really difficult to dry and straighten your hair - there are no power sockets near a mirror. A good idea would be to ask your staff to stay in the room and experience the stay from a guests point of view. Toilet roll holder very loose - this seems to be a thing in every hotel I stay in!

    The a la carte was amazing - best food we've had in a long long time. I would come back here, just for the food! Our room was very tastefully decorated, quiet and a short walk from the main hotel.

    Not a lot. The hotel, rooms and grounds are stunning.

    Breakfast was best we have had in our visits to various hotels over the past year. Room was delightful. Dinner didn't meet full expectations for the relatively high price.

    Bath mat and grab handle would have made the showering a bit easier / safer for us elderlies.

    Breakfast was excellent. The grounds are lovely and this is a delightful spot to relax in. Good facilities though we didn’t dine there. The bathroom extractor fan was coated in dust (room47) but otherwise good. A non slip mat for the shower would have helped as would a grab handle given the bath was standard narrow and quite high to get into. (We are both in our mid seventies!)
