As with many reviewers, we went as part of a tour. The building itself is magnificent and the bedrooms are really quirky but in a nice way. We spent a couple of hours round the pool which was very pleasant. Staff were attentive but seemed unhappy if you wanted to charge your drinks to your room rather than pay cash! Also the evening entertainment went on a bit which meant the food was a bit cold when we sat down, which was a shame as it was very tasty.The big question raised by other reviewers is whether it is worth the long drive out and back the next day through semi-arid countryside. We really like old buildings and this was great but still not sure
