I have visited this hotel twice with my husband and have always had lovely rooms. This time, I visited with my mum and we were so disappointed with our room. I wanted to show my mum what a lovely hotel this is, but we must have had the worst room in the whole hotel (room 20) and I felt really let down. There’s an extractor fan below the window and all night we could smell kitchen/fat smells. I didn’t sleep a wink all night as this smell made me feel so nauseous on top of being ill which was really frustrating. The view is horrible, directly onto a fire escape, and a staff member came out the door onto it and looked straight into our window as we were getting changed! We didn’t mind that it was small. I tried to cancel this booking 3 days before we came as I’m not well but was told that we couldn’t due to Ts&Cs. I do understand this, and we thought we’d come anyway as we’re local so could just drive home if I felt unwell (nothing contagious). However, after I enquired whether the breakfast costs were also unrefundable (I can’t eat much at the moment), our whole booking was cancelled by the general manager! I didn’t ask for this to happen! So I called up and luckily could reinstate our booking. This didn’t feel very kind or thoughtful, particularly as I had told him that I’m unwell. All of the other staff at this hotel are lovely, particularly the girls on reception. The guy behind the bar was super friendly too. The decor is beautiful and the food is excellent. The spa is my favourite spa in this area and I’ve visited them all! All of the eating areas and lounges are amazing. I know that you’re up for sale and I hope that the new owners keep the lovely staff and retain the wonderful spa. We will return as it’s so nice to have a local hotel to go to for a night and day of relaxation. However, I will definitely ask not to be in room 20. It really was horrible.
