A last minute decision to stay after a family wedding meant I didn't have any specific expectations about our stay here, but I'd read some good reviews. I do have mainly good things to say about the hotel. It has some lovely spaces inside and the Terrace at the front is such a bonus. Standards were generally high, our room comfortable, clean of course and the ensuite a good size. Communication was good, as we were arriving after midnight, and the night manager checked us in no problem. We had a slight hiccup at breakfast as our order didn't get to the kitchen and none of the staff noticed so we did have a bit of a wait, but I enjoyed my food. And I would have liked stronger coffee. I recommend staying here - for comfort, just maybe give the younger staff some support and keep on top of what's going on in the dining areas.
