The grounds were well kept and picturesque.
The carpets seemed tired and dated. The décor did not match the building's exterior, a detail I noticed immediately. It looked like they need a revamp (or maybe even two).

lovely grounds peaceful garden helpful staff pleasant staff grand public rooms limited breakfast poor breakfast pool access restricted pool threadbare carpet
the hotel grounds are quite lovely. i enjoyed the peaceful garden areas. staff members were pleasant and helpful throughout my stay, which i appreciated. the spa facilities impressed me, and i found the public rooms to have a grand character.
the breakfast selection seemed limited. there was no cheese or charcuterie, and the yogurt options were few. the swimming pool access was restricted for my teenager, excluding mornings and evenings. this meant we couldn't use the outdoor pool and hot tub together, a bit disappointing. i found a few maintenance issues such as a threadbare carpet near the bathroom.
