"This is the review which I sent to the hotel itself....Hello, I was enchanted by the age and distinction of your building and we were in perfect timing to enjoy sitting out on your patio and enjoying the vast view over the fields as the day drew to a close. Lovely waitstaff. I appreciated the print out about the history of the place from the front desk when I asked about it. It was definitely the nicest and biggest bed we slept on during our 2 weeks of travel in the U.K. Soft pillows and the clean, white linen felt luxurious. I only wish the smoke alarm (?) above our bed wasn't flashing brightly all night long. It kept us from sleeping well before our early morning flight out. That was the only part we didn't like. With such a large property parking was plentiful. I know it's a good way to make extra money and seems to be the U.K. way, but it would seem that parking wouldn't be an extra charge. Oh, also, my spaghetti carbonara was just so so. Not very flavorful. All else was great! Thank you!"
