Staff and service was great didn’t need to wave anyone down for anything they really couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel itself was very clean and well kept. The food was a little underwhelming, however; this doesn't mean it wasn’t nice, just had a little higher expectation based on other reviews. Overall a very nice place and I would definitely stay again

Warm welcome and due to absence of lifts they provided help to take luggage to room, after asking. The external looked like they had some weather damage so they need to rectify that asap. Breakfast was made to order and was delicious, plus they catered for our dietary requirements. Rooms were very chic and glad to find individual toiletries. Beds were really comfortable and plenty of tea, coffee, water in the rooms.
