We wanted to celebrate our 50th anniversary in the hotel we spent our honeymoon .The room was dark and the view was of scaffolds over a noisy road . The tea making cupboard was broken and was promptly mended. Fantastic shower! Breakfasts were hectic round 9am and it was like bun fights where the harassed staff were struggling to keep the buffet supplied. The range of choices was good . Our anniversary evening meal had our choice unavailable which was a great disappointment. Lovely gym and small pool that gets crowded in the morning. Evening meal staff were lovely! Lovely relaxing bar area. Bar staff seemed distracted and not consistent in how they serve customers. Not impressed with a few housekeeping staff where there was a huge sense of reluctance to make up our room when we asked if it will be serviced? No way to indicate that we need our room serviced ? Compared to our week in a comparable hotel in Greece, there is a lot for room for improvements .

The room smelt very strongly of drains, particularly the bathroom. I was in room 5002. The outside noise was bad, I was woken by a pneumatic drill at 2am doing outside roadworks. Got a shock of £20 per day for parking on arrival, be aware.

Generally our stay was a pleasant experience and having the hotel immediately adjacent to the station was our main reason for the choice. It is an easy walk into the city. It annoys me that a double room in a premium hotel does come with 2 easy chairs. The room was okay but, the window, facing north, was not enough to give good light in a large room. We had the lights on all of the time we were in. The net curtains could be raised but only to reveal a dirty window. The hotel was otherwise warm and welcoming and the staff were very easy to talk to and knowledgeable. The bed was comfortable and we slept well and the bathroom was clean and well appointed. The dining room for breakfast was distinctly chilly but the food was fine.
Clearly a hotel with some history and, no doubt, a few stories to tell.

Beautiful hotel set in lovely grounds with ample parking. We had to request to change rooms as our first bedroom in the annex smelt badly from damp. The reception staff were very obliging thankfully and we swapped rooms. Unfortunately our second room had no heating and it was freezing. We managed but explained to a lovely receptionist the situation and she refunded our breakfasts. All dealt with very professionally and we are extremely appreciative.
