4.5 star ratinga fantastic stay. Staff in hotel very helpful20 July 2010
4.5 star ratingVery friendly and helpful staff. Everyone made me welcome from reception to the bar staff to the waiters and the girls cleaning the rooms. Spider05 October 2010
2.5 star ratingReception very good and helpfulRestaurant "lost" breakfast order of eggs benedict for 45 minutes. When it came, it had been "thrown" together and was barely edible. Following morning - 15 minutes to deliver coffee and toast. Claimed busy, but seemed to me to be disorganised and totally unresponsive to single table occupancy. Room very noisy. Room cleaning request not actioned after 4 hours.P13 May 2012
5.0 star ratingIt was friendly, relaxed, beautifully furnished and spacious. The staff could not have been more helpful, breakfast was amazing and the champagne bar has a great atmosphere.Suz08 May 2012
3.5 star ratingThe location of the hotel was great. The beds were really nice, very comfortable although the pillows not the same standard as the lovely mattress.Value for money is pretty poor. For the cost of the room it was quite small. Stayed for 3 nights and after the first one both towels were taken and replaced with 1 so had to call for more. The tea/coffee wasn't replenished. The breakfast was pretty poor. We were given one thimble sized glass of juice and the toast was cold. One day we had toast we were given 6 half slices, the next we were given 4. It seemed that the hotel's 'generosity' waned. Although on arrival there is no where to park or drop bags off, the staff weren't very helpful and advised us to leave our car parked on double yellow lines whilst we sorted our own bags out and they had to find a key for the garage. We weren't advised on booking that the car parking was an extra £5 a day. Also, the knobs in the shower kept falling off.04 March 2013
5.0 star ratingOur stay was by far the best that we've had while visiting England from the USA. From the greeting when we arrived to the farewells at out departure, the professionalism and genuine desire to fully accommodate us was continuously evident! We truly loved our stay!! We will definitely try to visit there again before returning home to the states. Thank you to both Alex and Hannah!Absolutely NOTHING!!!Anonymous 10 January 2017
5.0 star ratingThe room was brilliant and the staff were very friendly and professional. The bar was a nice place to chill and I liked the look of the lounge, although we didn't make use of it. I was surprised at the size of the hotel but pleasantly so! The room was excellent value for money.None.DJH05 May 2016
