We expected a cozy getaway, but it turned into a frustrating experience. While the location had its charm, especially the history and the gardens, the lack of available common areas during our stay was disappointing. The restaurant was average, and the room left much to be desired for the price. On the bright side, the staff did their best to accommodate us, which was appreciated.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was decent and the dining experience offered some casual options, I was disappointed with the room assigned to me, which had an uninspiring view and lacked attention to detail. The staff were friendly, but the service has room for improvement, especially regarding the responsiveness to guest requests.

Dining options were somewhat limited and felt more casual than I expected for a resort setting, especially for dinner. The dessert menu was unoriginal, which was disappointing. I’d give dining a rating of 5/10.

Unfortunately, I didn't find many facilities that impressed me during my stay, and while the atmosphere was relaxed, I expected more considering the hotel's rating. I'd rate facilities a 6/10.

Our stay at the hotel was mostly positive, especially due to the stunning grounds and excellent food. However, the room's decor and size left a bit to be desired, and the interior could really use a refresh to match the lovely exterior. We enjoyed some great moments, but there were some aspects that could use improvement.

Rooms

We received an upgraded room, but it was quite small, with a cramped bathroom and a view blocked by a brick wall. Not the best in terms of space and ambiance.

Peppers offers a beautifully maintained property with lovely gardens and an inviting lounge area, perfect for relaxing. I had an exceptional experience dining at the restaurant, although I faced some limitations due to a wedding event during my stay that affected access to common areas. The room felt basic for the price I paid, but overall, it was a balanced experience with both highs and lows.

I had very high expectations for my stay, but unfortunately, it fell short. The hotel had potential with lovely grounds, but the interior felt neglected, and the price I paid just didn't match the quality. On the bright side, the breakfast was a highlight, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.
