Night away from home, receptionist very polite & efficient, bar staff engaging & great cocktails (probably would have stayed longer if they did a cocktail hour) huge comfortable bed, would have liked larger pillows, found them an odd shape, but still comfortable. Just far enough out of the city to be away from too much noise.

The location and service are great. We had trouble with the shower turning cold, however when we told the staff they were very friendly and said they’d take care of it. It’s a nice hotel but a lot of the decoration choices are made to look nice rather than be nice so it looks better in pictures than is.

8/10

Comfy, lovely hotel within a short walk from the centre, facing park area. Pros: Excellent breakfast and reception service. Gorgeous scented toiletries and very comfy bed. Great gardens for a sundowner. Car parking 2 min walk away (no charge from 6pm - 8am). Cons: Bar closed early at 23:00, in fact as soon as we walked in! Walls could do with a bit of soundproofing (could hear guests speaking next door although not too intrusive, I always bring ear plugs to hotels anyway). Milk and coffee sachets missing from refreshments so a keener eye for detail needed.

Lovely room, lots of space and good size bed. But the room was always cold and everytime we turned up the heating it just seemed to heat up the bathroom.
1-night trip

8/10

We stayed at this hotel for one night with friends. Our first impressions were great, from the friendliness of the reception staff, the general look and feel, the room was lovely and the bed comfortable. However there were a couple of things that would have made this 5*. This hotel was quite expensive for one night. As such I expected there to be a nice range of toiletries provided. Instead there were pump dispensers attached to the walls. The pumps were not easy to use and required a good amount of effort to give up any of their contents. Breakfast was not included and we had chosen not to include it when booking. However the morning after our stay we did pay for Breakfast. Breakfast was served up until 11am. When we arrived in the dining room around 10.20 (our friends about 10.30) many of the continental options were either empty or with minimal content. Had these 2 factors not been as expected I would definitely had given this hotel 5* as it's location, presentation and general feel were lovely. We were given a complimentary drink each to use in the bar though which was a very nice touch on an extremely hot day, thank you.

Lovely room in a good location, welcoming staff and overall very comfortable. Only negative was it was a little lacking in the tea, coffee and milk, not enough milk for two people to have a beverage with milk.

10/10

Wonderfully welcome from the first moment we arrived, which continued throughout the rest of our stay. I chose this hotel as it was less corporate and from a small chain of hotels that I know provide a quality approach to all details ( which they did).
