Very nice place to spend

We had a lovely stay at the Marquis, our suite was lovely and had a private west facing balcony so we watched a lovely sunset over the river. Dinner was excellent, as was the wine, highly recommended. Staff were all really friendly and helpful.

Outstanding staff at the Marquis

The Marquis has just completed renovations, and while there were a few teething problems, the staff was wonderful. They could not have done more to make our stay wonderful. Special shout out to David, Ryann, Lucy, Emma, Kate, Annabelle, Carmin, and everyone else we came in contact with, all were wonderful. The spa and pool were not even mentioned as they just opened, the facility is one of the best we ever visited, again with the staff to match. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Beautiful hotel, shame about the food.

A lovely comfortable hotel with beautiful decor and warm friendly staff. Rooms are not sound proofed- so you are able to hear a lot of noise around dinner time. The room it self was beautiful, with a comfortable bed and cosy lighting. The bathroom was nice- the shower was wonderful. Unfortunately our trip was let down by the food! My husband had a full English breakfast, in which we did have to complain as the sausage appeared to be raw. They apologised profusely, took our plates and spoke to the chef, on his return he told us the sausage was probed and was certainly cooked, however the sausage was pink as they have pink preserve in them! Is this a thing? I certainly haven’t come across this before. Surely a good sausage wouldn’t need “pink preserve” in it ! £4 was take off my husband’s £20 breakfast as good will- even though he only had 20% of his breakfast due to being put off.
