It was disappointing that there was no accessible areas for a disabled person. No toilets were accessible, for such a renowned hotel this was disgraceful and behind the times. There were areas that need painting, just lot of upkeep and care is needed. Staff were wonderful , meals excellent.

Stayed 2 nights, photos looked nice but hotel was tired with limited service (ie cups no saucers, uht milk, no coffee machine) beds ok, but mirror in shower bath intrusive. Best bit was replica of Tonwell (UK) high altitude water tower that sits next door!

Rooms a good size and nice to have balcony looking out to the trees. Would be good in future to be told in advance (when booking) that the dining area was closed to a private function. This impacted parking available. Fixtures not up to scratch in the bathroom.
