Lovely hotel. Our room was an accessable room (not requested or required) so the bathroom was functional and gigantic but not 'nice'. Our window had a car parked next to it. The beds were very soft. Saying all of that it was a lovely place with a lovely garden, staff were lovely and breakfast was expensive but convenient. I would def stay again. Location was amazing and price was competative.

Didn't quite meet my expectations, but okay
Didn't get the room we booked (though the hotel disputed this) - we specifically booked for a deep-soak bathtub, but had a room with a standard bathroom. We'd ruled out an alternative hotel purely based on the bathroom! It was a rare night away from children, so was looking for a touch of luxury! The room itself was very nice, clean, well-equipped and the bed was gloriously comfortable. The bathroom, sadly, was in need of some attention. There was paintwork in need of repair, damaged sealant around the bath, and the ventilation almost non-existent. I had a hot shower, and on getting out found pooling on the floor and sink unit where condensation had streamed down the walls. On the positive side, the towels were beautifully soft, and there were some complementary White Company toiletries provided. We'd booked breakfast for 9am, and arrived promptly. The hostess was quite flustered. She didn't ask for our room number/name, but told us the restaurant was full and we'd need to go wait in the lounge until there was space, which we obligingly did. Whilst in there, the housekeeping team came in and began to clean and hoover around us. We were about to leave and find a cafe, when she came to say the table was ready. There were no warm plates, and there was little left in the way of hot food, which we had to wait for replenishing. The tea/coffee machine was unavailable until we'd finished our (not great) food. Not a completely unpleasant stay, but will be trying elsewhere next time.
