Loved the room—spacious, quiet and with fantastic views. The beds were huge and exceptionally comfy. The only niggles were unreliable Wi-Fi and service that could have been friendlier and more proactive. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly staff, unfortunately there was a stain on the bed sheets which were changed when requested, walking to the room the corridor smelt of cigarette smoke. The room wasn’t 100% accurate to the photos online.

Lovely hotel

Great location. Comfortable room. Great shower. Balcony a plus, nicer than a jammed window for fresh air. Breakfast was really good. Shortage of plugs in the bedroom would be my only criticism.

Ideal stay as next to the racecourse, limited parking. Staff on reception were great but the bistro was understaffed for a race date. Just little things were disappointing e.g. water in room chargeable eventhough the room cost was hefty.
