My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were characterful, spacious, and beautifully furnished with stunning views overlooking the forest. The service from the friendly owners was welcoming and accommodating, even if not at 5-star standards. The location steeped in history was a perfect retreat, although the food and service could be improved. The dining experience, while tasty, had its hiccups in terms of timing and portion size. The facilities were top-notch, offering a pleasant stay overall.

My stay at the hotel was truly a mix of luxury and comfort. The rooms were opulent, extremely comfortable, and equipped with everything to make my visit memorable, offering a wonderful view over fields and the Welsh mountains. However, the absence of facilities to make a hot drink was a small inconvenience, and the room rates were on the expensive side.

The hotel's lovely location offered a nice country house feel rather than 5-star promptness. Walking through the nearby common was a serene experience, putting me right in the park and grounds.

Although I enjoyed the tasty meal, the delays in service were a drawback. The portion size, especially for the price of £28 per person, was not quite sufficient. However, the delicious snacks made up for it.

The hotel, while retaining its traditional manor house features, remains modern with 5-star status. However, some room issues such as tight spaces and lack of bath amenities were notable, and the 24-hour room service fell short of expectations. The service included both warm and unwelcoming interactions, creating a mixed experience for guests, especially during wedding services. The location, with historical charm, lacked promptness expected for a 5-star establishment. The dining experience suffered from delays and average quality. Overall, the facilities maintained a decent standard.
