Excellent Hotel
This is a good hotel, well run with good food. The only thing they could improve on is the information on their restaurant. It is Egon Ronay recomended but only the table d'hôte menu (excellent but limited) and bar menu is available Monday to Thursday. A full a là carte menu is available at the weekend. I was told by different staff that the restaurant was closed Monday & Tuesday (untrue) fully open (untrue) and, correctly, open all week but the full a là carte menu only available at the weekend. The hotel is well positioned with its own car park.

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was lovely - the bed was comfortable and inviting. The bathroom was massive, with walk in shower and a fabulous bath. We loved the use of complimentary dressing gowns and an iron and ironing board. The mini bar with five or six free drinks, plus the usual tea and coffee facilities, were all most welcome. Everything in the hotel was spotlessly clean. Staff were, without exception, friendly, helpful and professional. The classic Afternoon Tea was wonderful. Breakfast was also good and included in our overnight stay. A lovely treat for 24 hours!
