Lovely Hotel

Lovely hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. The only thing I could fault, was didn’t get a very good nights sleep due to the noise in the room, think it was down to the wind, felt like I hadn’t been to bed all night!

Lovely stay

We’ve stayed here a few times over the years and it never disappoints and the staff are so welcoming, they are a credit to the hotel. It was a flying visit sadly, hopefully next time we can stay longer. We were upgraded on arrival which was a lovely surprise.

Rooms not the best but great restaurant

Stayed here for two nights as part of a longer business trip. The hotel is located at a race course and has a lovely grounds with water fountains and other features. The room was alright for a couple of nights. I was expecting something similar to the photos but it was wayyy more dated. Being at the racecourse, I'm sure it has seen some heavy sessions in its time. The smell of stale cigarettes greeted me as I first walked through the door. The towel radiator in the bathroom gave me a little tingle when I touched it. The stay was saved by the excellent food in the Jockey Club restaurant coupled with the brilliant service there. Breakfast was different on each day with day one being a buffet style - the best buffet breakfast I've ever had. The second day was table service, equally as great. Evening meals were fantastic and the waiting staff even brought out little tasters which were compliments of the chef. The hotel bar is OK with the odd singer playing as entertainment.
