Alisdair, May 2025
Pros (+) This is a very classy hotel for the price you pay. Staff are extremely welcoming on arrival, the rooms are modern and clean, the spa facilities are great and the building is very well maintained and classically decorated (almost has a 1920’s theme - very well executed) and gives the place a cool vibe!
Cons (-) Literally the only thing we could even mildly identify as a complaint was the lack of herbal teas in the room (partner is vegan) but I’m sure they would have supplied oat milk or similar if asked. They had a great range of vegan foods in the restaurant. Yes, that’s right, if that’s all we can complain about, it’s got to be pretty damn good right?

Flavy, May 2025
Pros (+) Great location, accommodation and staff. A very warm welcome from the moment we entered the car park. Gardens very well maintained. Great staff. Would have rated a 10 were it not for the pricey breakfast and the 'fusty' kale served in the Brasserie. Those two small things aside, a great stay and the weather was on our side.
Cons (-) As above. Fusty tasting kale and pricey breakfast.

Martyn, Apr 2025
Pros (+) The location is fab and the heritage building is beautiful. Facilities are good for those wanting Spa etc.
Cons (-) The front of house team were not engaging towards customers in fact I’d say they are indifferent at best, based upon our experience. We appreciate costs associated with running such a hotel are high but training the people who represent your business with the customers is critical and we’d urge you to focus some resources in this area. We left feeling that we’d had poor service and therefore poor ...
