We used this hotel for a single overnight stay in the area. The positive aspect is that this is an attractive hotel in a lovely location. Our room (the mill suite) was very nice and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have experienced.||However we got off to a poor start because the signposting to, and within, the hotel were very poor. After finally finding the entrance to the hotel we then had a problem finding our room, as every other room except ours appeared to be signposted. Probably our fault for not paying sufficient attention to the instructions of the receptionist, but surely one of the main guest rooms in the hotel should be properly signposted? The absence of a lift is to be expected in an old building, but the staircase up to the room is very narrow, and anybody with more than a small overnight case will struggle - for more than €200 a night for the room a hotel should at least offer help with your luggage up narrow stairs. Poor weather meant we couldn't take full advantage of the attractive surrounding grounds, and this was compounded by the very poor quality of the TV in our room - more a technical problem with our TV itself I think rather than general TV reception in the hotel. This was reported to the hotel reception for something to be looked at later rather than during our short stay. Whilst the receptionist was not positively unhelpful, she did not appear to be willing to accept that there might be some areas where the hotel might not be perfect.||Unfortunately our evening meal in the restaurant, which presented itself as a place for fine dining, proved to be very disappointing. I had the tournedos, which arrived rare rather than medium as I requested. It was of good quality so I was happy to take it as it was. As the waiter had informed us that the meat dishes were accompanied by "potatoes and vegetables" I had not ordered any side dishes. Fortunately my wife had ordered a side dish of chips (french fries) to go with her veal loin, otherwise we would have remained hungry. The "potatoes and vegetables" were what I can only describe as a small mess of uninspired and poor tasting nouvelle cuisine. Very disappointing even though the quality of the meats was very good.
