5.0 star rating | everything about the hotel is lovely, we've been there 4 times within the year and always had a great time. | S&K | 21 December 2009 | |
4.5 star rating | a fantastic stay. Staff in hotel very helpful | 20 July 2010 | ||
4.5 star rating | Very friendly and helpful staff. Everyone made me welcome from reception to the bar staff to the waiters and the girls cleaning the rooms. | Spider | 05 October 2010 | |
2.5 star rating | Reception very good and helpful | Restaurant "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. | P | 13 May 2012 |
5.0 star rating | It 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. | Suz | 08 May 2012 | |
3.5 star rating | The 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 rating | Our 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 rating | The 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. | DJH | 05 May 2016 |
