Overall hotel was lovely and all the staff were friendly and professional. Room was comfortable and well appointed. On the downside, although breakfast was included in my room rate, any extras seemed very expensive. For example, an omelette (which is often available as part of a breakfast buffet in other hotels) was £15 on top of the standard breakfast. Standard breakfast was a bit uninspiring as well e.g. no porridge . Drinks in the bar are doubles as standard although single measures could be ordered if you asked specifically for a single

Came and stayed here on 4 day work trip, the hotel is absolutely lovely, the staff are really nice, one person stood out in particular, Toby the concierge, he was amazing and couldn’t do enough to help with everything. The hotel is very lucky to have you! The room was lovely, it was quiet and cool especially in the extreme heat, the bar and restaurant staff were very helpful, service wax great. I tried the delicious Caesar Salad and Burger, the breakfast was also lovely. My only disappointment was there is no club sandwich, that is always my hotel go to food! So to perfect your game, please put a traditional club sandwich on your menu! But if that’s my only negative comment, you know the hotel is doing everything spot on! I will be back for sure! Hopefully to try the chefs new club sandwich!! 🤞🏼
