Nice hotel but haunted for sure
The hotel is very nice and the room was lovely.
My only complaint was a noisy fridge in the room and bizzarre as.you may think, there was a ghostly pressence in my room which freaked me out slighy. If you like parranormal experiences, try room 202

A one night stay on a business trip. Comfortable room, good food, and upgrading from the continental to a full english breakfast was good value.

I had good preconceptions about what I might find for a one night stay. The preconceptions proved true ~ everything was as I had wished. Unconditionally recommended !

It was unfortunate that we visited on one of the hottest days of the year as our room didn't have air conditioning and the window was limited to opening only a few inches at the bottom, and would not open at the top, so no round draught could be created. The fan provided did little to help and we had an uncomfortably hot night.
Other than that, the hotel was good and the staff very helpful. The continental breakfast buffet was also good, although the gluten-free options were limited (though the gluten-free bread was very good).

Really lovely
Beautiful hotel and our room was exceptionally lovely and large and beautiful clean.
All staff were smiley, welcoming, polite and helpful.
The restaurant was nearly full on a Tuesday night which is a great sign. We booked ahead for chateaubriand which was spectacular.
The breakfast buffet wasn’t filled enough to cope with the number of guests. But the staff did their best to help.
