Beautiful hotel!

After booking i read poor reviews and was worried. However, we arrived and was greeted by a lovely friendly receptionist. Couldn't check in as was too early so came back after getting some food and walked into such a clean and bright room. Everywhere was very clean! You can lock the bedroom door from inside which is a something i read on reviews you couldn't! Bar prices arent too bad at all and we had a live singer who was incredible. They have board games in the lounge next to the bar, we sat for hours and really did enjoy ourselves. The bar man Ed is amazing, great customer service and dealt with a situation that unfolded so quickly and safely. Also want to praise Milly, such a beautiful friendly girl! Unfortunately stood outside one night we were approached by a man who wasn't very nice at all, the night receptionist, Ed, Milly and another young gentleman dealt with this situation very well, especially Ed and Milly. Unfortunately the night manager was useless and although i appreciate it's extra work and paperwork, the safety of his staff and guests should of been his main priority but it fell on myself, my partner, Ed, Milly, the young lady behind reception that night and another member of staff. Rooms are very warm and i recommend taking your own fan. Aside from the heat, which the hotel has no control over and the night managers poor response to a situation, the hotel is beautiful, if there was more to do in the area we would of returned 100%!

An avarage stay

The room was way too hot with no fan provided. We couldn't open the window as there was a baby bird nested on the windowsill. Of course that's not the hotels fault but they could of provided a fan for the room. There was a massive crane doing works from early in the morning so the noise from that mixed with the heat caused me a terrible sleep. But, the bed was comfy, the room was tidy and the communal areas looked well kept and looked after and the staff were friendly.

I am writing this review while I am still there. Staff have been super friendly. Highly recommend. 100% definitely coming back. Will like to add Aj at the receptionist has been super friendly and helpful.

This is the 3rd time we stayed usually stayed up in the tower suite. This time stayed in a standard double. Wallpaper and plaster falling off the wall, huge broken spring hanging down from infer the chair and window hardly opened so was extremely uncomfortable due to the heat. Was glad to leave and go home to a more ventelated place. Very disappointed seems our other stays have been wonderful, we even had our wedding reception here. Lovely receptionist did waver the £10parking charge.

No latch or lock on bathroom door. Defective extractor fan in bathroom. No service at all in the breakfast room. Gone downhill. You have to do everything yourself now. Self service counter is difficult to use unless you have 3 hands. One to hold plate, one to remove and hold enormous lid and one to take the food.
