We visited about 3-4 weeks ago for a birthday meal for a friend and the food and service were so good we decided to book to stay over for a concert in town we were attending, for my wife's birthday. Booking and follow-up information was great, and we arrived 30 mins before check in time at 3.00 and luckily the room was ready. The lovely staff had arranged to put a plate of very nice chocolates with Happy Birthday written on them when we opened the door to the room! A lovely thought. The room was ideal, we had lots of storage, a clean bathroom, nice shower, fresh, crisp bedding and even a mini bar fridge and microwave with tea and coffee too, lots of mirrors and lights too. So many hotels have poor room lighting and mirrors in weird places - not here - everything was practically thought out. What we really like about the Lemon Tree are the staff - the guy who checked us in 'disappeared' for 10 minutes from Reception and that was because he was sorting out the room chocolates for us. He was the same man who looked after us when we first visited the month before. The next morning, we had the most delicious choice of breakfast, my wife had the granola and I had the full fry up - the black pudding is out of this world - all made at the hotel, including the sourdough bread and the bacon was so thick it was like a door stop! It is an independent hotel, so they really take pride in a personal experience, the two guys on for breakfast were very attentive, and the location is perfect for town. My only tip is to be aware the car park is fairly small, but both times we have had a space, it is due to the restaurant guests, but the location is the reason as it is on a corner, and it is a lovely old building tastefully designed and decorated. We would only stay here now, and would happily some here for a meal anytime, including breakfast, as the staff are all so genuinely nice. Thank you for a lovely night away.
