Terrible food
Room and staff were good but the restaurant has changed the menu to what looks like a pub menu. What they have, isn't cooked particularly well either. Scampi on the first night was overcooked and rock hard on the coating. Second night, the sausages were swimming in a disgusting concentrated sauce that was supposed to be onion gravy. Far too much of it. There was also a group of about 10 men on a table that were so loud, no one else in the restaurant could hold a conversation. Staff only asked them to be quiet, when people complained. Not the sort of dining experience I would expect from a supposedly 4 star hotel. The breakfast was also poor. Very tired looking selection with poor choices. Het with the times and cook to order and get rid of the chaffing dishes!! Glad I hadn't brought any business associates here to eat on my recommendation, I would have been embarrassed!!!

Shower didn’t work in a room that was £191 a night including breakfast. Staff didn’t appear to care when it was reported. WiFi was non existent in the room, with staff reporting “that’s just the way it is”. The food was excellent though
