rubbery eggs hard bed
I was somewhat frustrated with the inconsistent breakfast quality. The eggs tasted rubbery, like they were preheated instead of fresh. The bed was also quite hard, I found it really uncomfortable. It affected my sleep during the 3 nights I stayed. The afternoon cake was a sticky, wet flapjack. It wasn't as good as I remembered from a previous visit. The location was perfect though.

The Woodford room provided ample space. Car parking was easy and private. The location offers a convenient view across Hope Park. Staff were both friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered an amazing view. An honesty bar was always available. The hotel features a lovely garden space. I found the room to be very clean. The bed was comfortable. The complimentary afternoon tea and homemade cake were nice touches.
