Positive:
Perfect location to hyclere castle. Beautiful hotel with lovely features. Spotless clean room with great facilities. Great food and staff very friendly and accommodating. The bed was really comfy. The room was very hot on an extremely hot day and a fan was provided which was very thoughtful and welcoming.
Negative:
I was in room 119 alone and felt a bit vulnerable because there was an unknown car parked right outside my window. I did draw the blind for privacy. The shower tray was very slippery.
Summary: Lovely hotel in a perfect location
