Look else where

Looking at the gardens and grounds, I expected a lot from this hotel. Our room was £190 per night which is a high end rate. For this, I would expect a fantastic room and Quendon's rooms are far from this. Completely lack lustre. Tacky furnishings which don't fit in with the period of the house, creaky bed, uncomfortable mattress poor fixtures and fittings... I don't have anything to say which is positive about the room which is quite rare for me.

The final straw is the breakfast. Paying the price above, you would expect some choice and flexibility but it is checkout by 9am with breakfast at 9am to 9:30. I don't think I have ever stayed in a hotel where breakfast is only 30 minutes. There is a limited choice of cereals, our toast was burnt and the full English is the only hot option- you can't even choose how you would like your eggs.

The person who is in charge of the gardens needs a pay rise as this is the only redeeming feature and the person who is in charge of the rooms and structure of the day needs a serious talking to. Separately, the wifi code should be in the booklet in the room or handed on a piece of paper when you checkin. Basic things that a far cheaper hotel gets right. I would not stay again. Room 5 is a small twin, I would opt for another room.
