erall, we had a pleasant stay. The breakfast and dinner were both very nice, although they were served at other locations rather than at the hotel itself.
The outdoor swimming pool was lovely and had a nice atmosphere, although the area itself felt quite basic.
The staff at both the hotel and the restaurant were very friendly and welcoming.
I slept well in general, although unfortunately my husband found the bed uncomfortable.
The room itself was quite small and felt overcrowded with too much furniture. Some pieces seemed unnecessary for a room of that size and made it difficult to move around comfortably. There was a lovely fireplace, but unfortunately it was covered by an old two-seater sofa, which was a shame.
The biggest disappointment was the bed. It was made up of two single mattresses pushed together with a topper on top. Unfortunately, the topper did not solve the problem, and there was a noticeable gap or dip in the middle of the bed. As we were staying for our anniversary, it was disappointing that we effectively had to sleep on separate sides of the bed.
Our anniversary had also been mentioned in the booking message, so I was surprised that a hotel in this price range did not acknowledge it in any way—not even with a simple card.
We had access to a private terrace, which was initially a lovely surprise. Unfortunately, it did not feel inviting or well maintained. The chairs were covered in dust and spider webs, and the terrace in general looked rather neglected and sad. It certainly was not somewhere we wanted to sit and enjoy a morning coffee.
For such an expensive hotel, I expected much more attention to detail. The friendly staff, pleasant meals, outdoor pool and generally peaceful stay were positives, but the room, bed and neglected terrace did not match the standard or price we expjected.

The location is lovely, the staff were friendly and aesthetically the building is pleasant to look at.
We stayed in a small room named Kipling which was adjacent to the front door, behind the reception desk come drinks bar and across the hall from an open plan sitting room. It therefore felt like we'd been poked in the boot room or an old office as we could hear people coming and going, checking in at reception and chatting quite clearly. There was no privacy for us so it's a good job we weren't hoping for a 'romantic' stay as we found ourselves having to whisper with just one wall between us and the reception desk.
The only option for breakfast is a continental in your room but if you wish to have a buffet or hot breakfast, you have to drive down the road to Maison House's sister hotel, Milsom's. Having previously stayed at Maison House in 2009, I remember a nice dining room next to the sitting room where you could have a hot breakfast however, this has now been turned into a room for yoga. Quite an odd location for an exercise space I think.
Cleanliness could have been improved a little with bits on the floor in our room plus the bathroom smelt of urine!
Finally, the heating wasn't on in the room when we arrived so being a cold March day, it was freezing. The staff did manage to get the radiator going however, the room then turned into a boiler room during the night which was unpleasant and led to a really bad night's sleep.
