Perhaps I hoped it would be the same… The staff was excellent and the food was as well. However, the room seemed a bit tired despite a recent renovation. Vinyl flooring in the bath was not in keeping with the architecture of the building for instance… the main rooms of the hotel were still as beautiful as I remember, but the grounds have been neglected. It’s a beautiful property and worth the stay if you’re in the area but not quite as grand as my last stay. ##### Hilary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent property in a great location.
