really good stay

spacious room prompt delivery good breakfast
i enjoyed a very nice stay this week in the estate king room. it was very spacious and offered all amenities. i ordered a meal via room service, which arrived piping hot and delivered promptly. breakfast was equally good but served in the bar during the main house refurbishment.
i found the room a little too warm upon arrival. there was full control over the temperature, so i was able to adjust it. the initial warmth was a minor inconvenience.

Uneven experience. Some issues noted

strong smell neglected bathroom
The room i was given wasn't quite up to par. The bathroom seemed a bit neglected. there was a noticeable smell, quite strong. after i complained, they just sprayed some air freshener, which only made it smell like a poorly maintained public restroom. opening the bathroom door meant the smell spread to the bedroom. It was not great.
