Cannot rate highly enough.
The hotel was immaculately clean and the quality of the furnishings was exceptional.
We arrived later than intended and had missed our free shuttle, but within literally 5 minutes of calling a very polite & courteous gentleman arrived to collect us.
Check in was a breeze and the reception staff were lovely.
There is a lovely ambiance in this hotel, the lobby is stunning and the Grill area was sumptuous and inviting.
We stayed in a garden room and the attention to detail and little touches were amazing. A slate built into the vanity so you can use hair straighteners without burning the lovely wood and leather desk top, a kettle AND a nespresso machine so you can have a decent coffee when you wake up. Molten Brown toiletries and lovely big, bright white towels to wrap yourself in and slippers so you don’t slip on the bathroom floor.
There was a proper make up mirror on the vanity, a great quality TV that easily allows you to reset it, and quite possibly the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in other than my own at home, which coupled with the blinds AND heavy blackout curtains resulted in a blissful nights sleep!
Breakfast was delicious and again the staff couldn’t do enough for us without being intrusive.
I usually use the Clayton when flying from Manchester but I on the recommendation of a friend I thought I’d try Dakota… and I’m totally converted! We will most definitely be back!
