Historical Charm with Minor Hiccups

clean poolbeautiful groundshigh cost
The pool facilities were clean, a big plus for me. Staff were lovely and very polite. The grounds have great curb appeal! It's a gorgeous estate with beautiful grounds for short walks.
The restaurant needs significant improvement, especially when one considers the high cost of the food. The food did not align with the level of the hotel. I found some of the menu items overpriced.
Dining

The restaurant provides limited choices. there is also the option of afternoon tea in the drawing room. The breakfast buffet includes a sufficient array of choices. Staff in the dining area are attentive and helpful too.

the breakfast staff provided lovely service. the selection of breakfast foods was good. the pool and leisure area were also good despite the stairs (i needed the exercise anyway).
i noticed some dirty leftovers on trays in the hallway near some open rooms. my room had small bits of dirt on the carpet. i also saw a lot of long dark hair on the carpet.

mixed experience at this hotel

disruptive noisewedding overshadowing
the noise was quite disruptive. my room was near several hallway and staircase doors (i believe three in total). each time one of these doors opened or closed, my room door shook loudly. i found it difficult to relax. also, a wedding seemed to dominate the communal garden and outdoor sitting area for a significant part of the day.
