Corse Lawn hotel ok

Hotel was ok good sized room basic bathroom needs a refurb shower was poor food was excellent
We book similar hotels every year as its my wife's birthday, this is the first with no Xmas decorations ,no Christmas tree ,also we were not told building was covered in scaffolding

Very disappointing

First impressions not good hotel covered in scaffolding unkempt grounds hotel obviously in a very bad state of repair. Reception extremely tatty and smelt damp. Every single item from carpets to all the soft furnishings need replacing. First bedroom although large had no central heating was cold dirty and smelt damp. We asked to be moved. Second bedroom was at least heated but very shabby no fan in the bathroom the jacuzzi bath didnt work nor did the television. The food was limited and very average. The hotel is currently being refurbished, however in our opinion should be closed completely until it can offer the service and facilities that they are charging for. I certainly would not stay there again and feel very let down by country hotel breaks for recommending this hotel

Needs some updating

This hotel could be absolutely wonderful but obviously needs some money spending on it. Our room was well proportioned and the seating area was great to have. However it is a long time since we slept under blankets and not a duvet, and we were cold the first night until we found an extra blanket. The shower pressure is also not very good, we appreciate the plumbing is probably old but I'm sure there could be a way of improving this. Antique furniture is lovely to have but sometimes not very practical and the sofa needed some re-upholstering.
Other guests told us their rooms were also cold though there are electric heaters provided.
The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the food is good.
A minor point but it reflects on the overall ambience - very few of the pictures on the wall in our room, the restaurant and sitting areas are straight!!

A 2 day break

The bathroom and bedroom were a very good size . The furnishing dated but it was very clean.
In the room there was fresh fruit, coffee and tea making facilities and a biscuit jar with homemade shortcake biscuits. We enjoyed our stay , the breakfast choice was excellent and the evening menu wasn t huge but had a good variety of, well presented and delicious dishes .

Lovely one night stay

We were given our night away as a present , on arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our room. Our dog was fussed and everything explained to us.
The room was spacious and clean, it had a few little areas that could do with a bit of maintenance but in general very comfy.
We took a walk round the fields and then had a drink by the pond. All very nice.
Dinner was in the bistro as we had our dog but the staff were friendly and knew about GF options which was brilliant. Food was amazing! Again a few areas could do with some upkeep but a lovely meal.
Breakfast in the morning was again lovely, although we had to stick our head into the kitchen to get a member of staff to serve us as again we were in the bistro. Once they came out they were friendly and the service was quick and food great.
All in all a lovely visit and we would definitely come and stay again.

re-visiting area

Saw brief mention in Telegraph holiday section so just had to visit as we lived very close by 40+ years ago. Hotel was everything we expected and wanted and was lovely. Faintly old fashioned which suited us perfectly but food and staff were excellent.
