I contacted the property before our stay to ensure that there would be parking available as my husband is disabled and was told that they had plenty of parking. When we arrived at the front of the hotel we asked where the parking was and was given a map which takes you 1 1/2 miles round a one way system to access the rear of the property, when we did this there was no parking available. We had to walk 20 minutes for the nearest available parking at a cost of £16 completely contradictory to what is on the hotels website as the footbridge linking the hotel to the centre is under repair and closed. When I asked the receptionist why they provided us with the map when they knew the car park was full the receptionist was incredibly patronising. I did complain to the manager who in fairness did try and resolve matters but as he said the damage was already done. The restaurant food was the biggest positive of our stay.

Lovely hotel premises with comfortable rooms that felt luxurious. Very poor customer support which made our experience extremely frustrating. Very disappointing coordination between the hotel and the restaurant which made booking dinner prior to staying into an ordeal that took days to confirm. Massively overcharged on food which was definitely approved for £30 per head on Oaky service which was to be taken from room deposit. Appointment booking staff, receptionists and waiter was all informed of such pricing arrangement. Have not heard back from any member of staff since checking out and expressing my grievances.

I had a lovely stay at the Roseate. Beautiful hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful. I had a lovely massage at the spa. I had a couple of issues with the bathroom- shower heads weren’t working in shower or bath, but staff were great about it and gave me complimentary breakfast! Would definitely stay again
