Lovely hotel

This is a beautiful hotel with great staff. We attended the high tea and then checked in. We were advised we has been upgraded however when I enquired about this, I was advised that we has been upgraded from the 2 bedroom Victorian suite which I had booked, to a one bedroom higher grade suite. Whilst I appreciated the offer, we needed the 2 bedroom suite and we has to then wait an additional 15 minutes for this to be fixed and then we had to ring to find our bags and wine, which had been delivered to the other room but no one amended the bags to come to the original booking. A bit too much of our time spent on all of this. Once settled, the Victorian suite was spacious with a lounge room and a dining room plus entry hall. One bedroom with a king size bed the other with a single. Shower over bath, shampoo etc supplied. Small bar fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. No coffee pod machine. Towels, linen, pillows and bathrobes all nice. Rooms heated however lack of fresh air as no openable windows. Staff were all kind and pleasant and happy to assist with anything. The breakfast was very good.

A grand old lady all dressed up with nowhere to go

Beautiful looking hotel - a grand old lady all dressed up. However, once you ooh and ah over the fabulous looking furniture and drapes, that’s it. The bed was extremely uncomfortable - you can feel the springs when you sit down. The bathrooms are freezing. The shower is over a narrow bath which one has to clamber over to get in. If you had any kind of age related problem with your legs it is downright dangerous. If you do manage to navigate the clambering, you will soon discover the water pressure is terrible and it is very hard to get a full satisfactory shower, because it’s so hard to turn around in the bath. The towels are big but very thin. Breakfast was okay.
