Weekend Break

Everyone who works at the hotel (reception, restaurant, bar, cleaners etc) are absolutely fantastic and customer service was great. Room was spotless though a little cold as the radiator wouldn't switch on but the bed so comfortable which provided a great sleep under the warm quilt. Glad I booked the breakfast as it was freshly cooked and there was lots of options. The only slight downside is that there are lots of stairs (and I mean lots!) so getting to your room is a mission if you're not near the reception so not ideal for disabled guests or, like me, just recuperating from a knee operation! Possibly the hotel could add a note in their description so if guests do have a problem with stairs then they can request in advance a more accessible room.

Liked: Cleanliness
The upgrade room was well appointed but being located in the basement gave it a dungeon like vibe. Required front desk assistance in the evening to get the heat working in the room. Morning front desk staff was much less accommodating or welcoming.
