Grand traditional comfortable hotel
Georgian grand hotel. Hotel has done well to preserve the grand features.
This is one for those who like character to a building.
Staff were excellent.
Service was fast and efficient.
Lots of nooks and crannies to sit in with loads of old style leather oxblood sofas and chairs throughout- so comfortable after dinner drinking.
Food was lovely.
Only requests would be for fresh juices at breakfast rather than concentrate/ squash and a scrambled egg option.
Very nice stay - will return.

Disappointed
Not a good experience. Checkin took 20 mins with a long line of people all arriving at the same time with 1 person serving.
The room was small with the bed against the wall which makes it difficult when 2 people sharing the bed. The room was dated and bed / pillows not comfortable so neither of us had a good sleep. It’s a shame as the hotel overall looked better in the lobby area so we thought it was going to be better than it was.
Parking is charged at £5 per 24 hours
It is easy to walk into town so location is good.

Terrible room
We have been multiple times and had wonderful trips. However this room was awful. Toilet had no washbasin and did not lock. The shower was attached to bath and you could not stand, had to sit. This room should not be let out, so sad as it was a special trip. Complained and had no response sadly.

One night stay.
Excellent hotel, facilities and communal areas were good, however the view from the window in our room, in the annex was not. Car parking can also be an issue even though there is a daily charge for parking. The staff we met were brilliant.

This was a minibreak with my partner - the building is amazing and the location is the best; our room was definitely a tight squeeze but immaculately clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. The steam room was closed when we visited, unfortunately, and the queues for the bar were long. The staff were generally friendly though.

Two night stay for a works outing. Room had been very recently refurbished. Still a sense of faded grandeur but good vale, central location and I had no issues. It was a return visit
