Nice hotel

Nice older hotel. Lacking USB sockets. Old fashioned shower heads. Lovely toiletries. Great service in the brasserie. Food always came out piping hot. Beware of service charge added to your bills. The bar closes early with no warning. The gym is small, but well equipped. They also run classes. All accessible to the public too.

Pamper weekend for myself and daughter

Loved the pool - felt luxurious and private (even though there were other guests using the pool) Great staff and beautiful room in a wonderful setting Breakfast delicious and plentiful The hotel didn't feel too crowded even though they were hosting a wedding Attention needs to be paid to kettle location in the room plus need to have a usb charging point each side of the bed Non slip mat for the bath/shower covered the plug hole if not careful Food was disappointing from the A la Carte Menu and Service was very slow - due to the wedding party?

Overall good stay. Hotel was busy with mix of guests including wedding, leisure, spa and families. Bar staff friendly and helpful. Parking adequate. Room comfortable. Pool facilities good overall, although tend to become less relaxing when more guests arrive, so we relished the quieter moments.
