Sopwell House has a lovely spa experience and beautiful gardens, making it a charming getaway. However, issues with unexpected charges and some minor problems with room amenities left me questioning the overall experience. The facilities, particularly the spa and pool, are commendable, but the dining experience could use some enhancement.
