Lovely room, lots of space and good size bed. But the room was always cold and everytime we turned up the heating it just seemed to heat up the bathroom.

Nice place but could be better for the price

The service is very friendly and the bed is comfortable - nice decor and quiet rooms. However a few issues. First, we had very little hot water for the second day - morning and evening - and while this was rectified when we went to reception I'd expect the hotel to have an alert when the boiler needs resetting, not to wait until one of the guests complains. Second, the tea/coffee station wasn't refilled so there was no coffee or milk - we had to ask for some, and it was left in the room in a sanitary disposal bag. Choosing to keep the kettle and tea/coffee station in the wardrobe is odd and may mean housekeeping forget it. Finally despite the room being prepaid the hotel placed an additional hold on our debit card of nearly £500 'for incidentals' which frankly seems excessive. This has not yet been returned. Overall this could be really nice but some quite basic things went wrong which you can easily rectify, I think.

weekend stay

not functioning ventilations, cramped toilet, initially safe in the room did not work trying to investigate why lead to discovery of much dust which was also under the bed. The continental breakfast was probably the poorest we have ever experienced. On the positive side very friendly personnel & fair service.

Poor restaurant manager and service

Lovely hotel, went there for Valentine’s day with my girlfriend. Lovely room, great bar staff. However, had a valentine’s meal in the restaurant, which was extremely poor service. Waited an hour and forty minutes for a meal The restaurant manager made no apology for the shocking service and the head waiter didn’t have a clue what she was doing or serving. Was served sparkling wine warm. Then given an ice bucket 10 minutes later. Not once did the waiter come over and ask if we wanted another drink. The restaurant manager spent more time tucking in his shirt into his trousers because he didn’t wear a belt. Not once did any of the waiters or restaurant manager go to certain parts or the restaurant to ask customers if they had a nice meal or wanted another drink. Really poor service. Will not be coming back to that restaurant ever again. Completely ruined the whole day.

Lovely room

Lovely room in a good location, welcoming staff and overall very comfortable. Only negative was it was a little lacking in the tea, coffee and milk, not enough milk for two people to have a beverage with milk.
