The place was absolutely beautiful, the lawns and gardens especially. A friend had the honeymoon suite, so I know how beautiful that was, with a balcony overlooking the gorgeous grounds of the hotel. I had a smaller room, which served its purpose, but the shower was so tiny that if I put my head under the water, my back would turn the shower off (I'm a normal size human being). However, the worst part of the hotel was the food. I know that England is not known for its food, but I am not at all a picky eater or a harsh judge of food, and the food at this place made me sick. Even walking around the hotel during the day, one could smell the food cooking and it was horrendous. Dinner was especially horrible, every sauce completely inedible, and all meat cooked so much that it was unrecognizable. The place was gorgeous, but I suggest that if you go, you pack all meals in your suitcase.
