the parking was easily accessible and free . the room included complimentary sloe gin and a roberts radio, which i found charming (i do love little details). breakfast was delicious and had several options.
the finishing in the bathroom looked a little tired already. i noticed the paint job was not perfect, so the mdf panelling had some wet spots. the food seemed somewhat pricey for what it was.

The staff were really attentive and helpful. It was like nothing would be too much trouble for them.
I had a couple of issues with the room . The television had no signal, a real letdown when I wanted to relax at the end of the day. the bar got my bill wrong, and I had to get a refund (it took some time to sort out).

Really good Stay with Luxurious Touches

sloe ginbreakfast selectionbeautiful bedroomwonderful toiletries
I found the check-in to be efficient. The bedroom was beautiful. The bathroom had wonderful toiletries available. I appreciated the complimentary sloe gin provided within the room, a really nice touch. The breakfast was plentiful with a good menu selection. Fresh fruit and a full english option were available, which i found sumptuous.
The wifi signal in my room was unfortunately weak. I noticed connectivity issues throughout my stay. This made it slightly difficult to manage some work tasks.
