I booked directly with the hotel and treated myself to a suite in the Old Hall, which was stunningly beautiful. The breakfast in The Orangery was relaxing, but the room had some downsides like the lack of air conditioning and a somewhat cramped shower. Overall, it was fantastic, but there's room for improvement regarding comfort in the suites.
