snobby staff manor house
the staff in the manor house were snobby. when i checked in, the doorman changed his demeanor when he realised i was in the less fancy part of the hotel. i would not return or recommend because of this snobbiness, even though the hotel itself was nice.
Breakfast featured both a buffet and made to order items. Staff exhibited warmth and readiness to assist in all interactions. Grounds were well maintained and accessible for leisurely strolls. I had dinner in The Hound restaurant, it provided a fabulous dining experience.
i did experience a minor issue with the room temperature upon arrival.

uncomfortable lounging area limited options
The grounds were acceptable I guess the atmosphere was fine too.
The lack of comfortable lounging areas in the Hunters Yard was a real issue no space existed to relax and read a paper comfortably. The bar was the only option available otherwise the bedroom was it. It disappointed me.
