Advantages: beautiful surroundings
Disadvantages: dismissive attitude of owner to complaints

When I expressed the embarassment and inconvenience that the toilet cistern flooding the bathroom floor caused to me, and the prompt action of my husband saving the hotel a lot of money in terms of damage limitation, the owner was very arrogant, dismissive and derisively demeaned my feelings. His empathy was non-existant! I shall never go there again (I had patronised this establishment to the tune of £2000 in the last 12 months!) I have informed ...
...'customer reviews' sites. The hotel members of staff are pleasant, the food is quite good - much better in the Manor restaurant than the Brasserie which offers a level of cuisine for dinner that is more fitting to a cafe than a restaurant. There is also the noise of 'clattering dishes' encroaching on the bedrooms, regardless of where your accommodation is situated.

I would not recommend it.There are plenty of other alternatives that make you feel pampered and special. ... Read review

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: everything else (food, price, service, treatments, hygeine)

...I was completely unimpressed with the standard of the treatments. I would not recommend going here if you have ever had a) a really good massage in the past, b) have a gym membership as this felt like a stripped down version of my gym.. which costs less per month than one entry to the sanctuary d) have ever been in a business class lounge in an airport (if you hold it up to BA's lounge in terminal 5 for example, the Sanctuary falls about a mile ...
