Pros: Beautiful old house with big rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Many thanks to Wendy at the front desk for all her great tips about the city and restaurants.

Pros: The receptionist Wendy made my stay at Butler House an absolute pleasure. She is the personification of hospitality and so friendly and welcoming.

Pros: Fabulous place to stay. Restored period house. So many charming features. Lovely comfy bed. Great shower. Great selection at breakfast. Wendy on reception is just lovely and obviously loves what she does. Such a nice genuine person. Gardens are so nice and love the history of them.

Cons: The only issue I have is the wine offered by the glass in the bar. I ordered a glass of red which I had to return as it was so sharp, I could not drink it.

I don't drink beer or spirits so wouldn't mind paying a good bit more for a decent glass of red at the end of the day!

Cons: Breakfast was not in dining room. ? water leak

Pros: The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating.

Cons: I had a terrible sleep due to the people in the room next door making so much noise. Shouting and cursing at all hours, clearly intoxicated. I rang reception and the gentleman I spoke to went to speak with the group, this improved the situation slightly. It was frustrating as I had a very important meeting the following morning and it really impacted my sleep.

Pros: Welcoming and attentive staff nothing too much trouble.

Pros: Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff were lovely in bar and pool areas.

Cons: Food at dinner wasnt the hottest had to ask to put it in microwave. Steam room out of service. Work been done in pool area and are bedroom was looking straight out on the work. 3 people staying in triple room with 2 cups, 2 glasses etc.

Cons: We were put into a room on the first floor and the noise level was terrible, we could hear everything happening outside our room and could hear people in their rooms very clearly that would could actually hear their conversations. The room wasn't what we expected at all pillows were hard and surprised that a four star hotel doesn't allow you to control the heating and then doesn't give you extra covers or pillows. We asked could we change rooms to one with a balcony as we weren't happy with the "heated smoking area" there was a small canopy with 2 small heaters and an ashtray, we couldn't sit out on the chairs as it was raining, I was under the impression that they would have some sort of a shelter if it was supposed to be a "heated smoking area" the staff were quick enough to change us to another room but it just seems that all rooms are kind of the same just we had a balcony instead with an ashtray. The balcony door is put on backwards so when you are trying to open the door you end up getting your hand caught between the other side of the door and the handle. The rooms look so much bigger in the pictures, the decor is mix matched with white furniture, velvet purple light shades. The lamps flickered constantly when turned on. Grey carpet and a huge mahogany wood wardrobe which is a big eyesore. The shower was way to high up the wall so kind of felt like it was raining in you and you couldn't control the pressure of the water or the temperature really. We weren't greeted well by staff upon arrival and not really given any leaflets about what was around the area for us to do " which I have received in budget hotels" when checking out they took our key and said thanks, didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay, didn't ask if we would like to give some feedback and didn't even say as much as a goodbye hope to see you again.

Pros: Bar, Room and staff

Cons: One dinner was wrongly delivered
