Very friendly helpful staff, great service. Lovely food, atmosphere and comfortable room and great for my assistance dog. Only issue I had was the shower didn’t have any hot water early in the morning. Not great on a chilly November morning.

Charming hotel, lounge & brasserie. Front desk staff and restaurant staff were excellent. Breakfast was both delicious and plentiful. Our only complaint was the shower in our room had various temperatures that made it difficult to take a proper shower. Other than that, it was very good and would stay there again.

The room that I was allocated overlooked roadworks. The noise of drilling & construction was dreadful until early evening and started again early in the morning. They can’t help the roadworks but they should not allocate a 1st floor room directly next to the site!

I didn’t like the money that I paid for parking. Parking available was one of my criteria for choosing this hotel, but never had in my mind to pay 25 pounds for parking . Its a lot of money for parking.. Plus, the hotel not advertised for clients this to known. I checked in their website and it is not a word for parking payment. Very disappointing for a four star hotel !
