Positive: The restaurant was nice for a fancy dinner, the food was very good although quite pricy but tasty. The estate is nice if you have a dog as there's plenty of space to run around. The indoor pool was great.
Negative: The staff at the reception was not friendly at checkin, that's the first impression of the hotel and it was not nice. When you went to check in at 3pm, they said the rooms are not available still cleaning them and didn't even say when it will be ready, we got it 30 min late. They acted as if this was a normal occurrence for the hotel. The rooms are very worn down, clean but worn down, the bathroom is not nice to look at, moldy sealant all around, the shower was getting cold randomly on and off. The water bottle in the room costs £5 on your tab if you open it! Paying £250 a night and I don't even get free water! The room itself was big but not well equiped, the kettle does not work properly, there's no bedside lights and no outlet! How are you supposed to charge your phone? That's how old the rooms are! Definitely not a 4 star hotel experience The same tables where I was served dinner ALC were also for serving continental breakfast which was a bit disappointing compared to the dinner food quality, very basic food choices using the cheapest ingredients, the jam was basically the jelly kind full of sugar, the "cheese board" was a few slices of goat cheese!, no vegan option for english breakfast, no herbal tea or earl gray tea option, only black tea and black coffee. Not something to get excited about to be honest. I am very disappointed given that I payed £250 for 1 night, that would have gotten me a nice hotel with a private hot tub in lake distric area!
Summary: Rude reception, messy management, old rooms, dissapointing experience

Positive: Good selection on the breakfast buffet, both hot and cold. Room was nicely furnished and bed was comfortable. Allowed to use the pool as part of room rate which is a nice touch. Bath towels were nice and large, although robes were not! Plenty of wardrobe/drawer space.
Negative: Toilet seat was wobbly as was the sink tap. Hotel is dog friendly and we heard a dog barking during the night. The pool was very crowded - full of kids. Would have been nice to be provided with pool slippers as had to walk through hotel barefooted. No bedside light on one side of bed.
Summary: Excellent location, good food
