Stately house in need of a little TLC, surrounded by carpark in what would have been lovely grounds. Breakfast was a massive disappointment. The hotel was working around renovations but it was poorly planned and spectacularly poorly executed. Eggs, bacon and juice were conspicuous by their absence, but the sausages were surprisingly good. The staff, who spent most of their time running around achieving very little, were either poorly trained, poorly led or nobody at the hotel has ever experienced a good buffet breakfast service so doesn't know what right is. There was one person showing people in to the restaurant meaning a long wait time before being shown to the table. Coffee, which gets brought to you, was very weak and only just drinkable, so when the offer of refills didn't materialize we weren't too disappointed. Pool facilities were ok.
