We couldn't understand the high rating. We stayed in 5 hotels this week and this was in a class of it's own. - not in a good way!
Although an imposing building, upon entering it's very institutional and basic. Not explained was that it's a religious (C of E) centre. The bedroom was very basic and the bathroom looked like something out of the 1980s, also very basic. Recently refurbished may allude to religious timescales, perhaps. On the plus side, the breakfast was good, but in a canteen setting, not a dining room/restaurant.
