Balancing Comfort and Issues
spacious room breakfast choice limited parking poor decor
My room was a Club Double Room, and I found it spacious. Breakfast had many choices, and it tasted lovely. I could easily spend several hours in the comfortable lounge with its big windows and great views.
The parking here is problematic because there are few places for a hotel of this size. Room decor seemed poor, with some marks on the walls in my room. I also did notice some damage to the bed headboard.

giant sofas games collection perfect location
i found the swimming pool and spa to be a great addition. the lounge features giant sofas and a games collection in the corner. the location served as a perfect base for exploring local attractions and scenic walks.
I noticed slow service in the dining room. One day, i waited an hour for my main course. the portions also seemed small relative to the cost, considering the limited accompaniments provided.

Breakfast provided a lovely start to the day. I also enjoyed a meal in the conservatory room. the 1769 restaurant and bar offered enjoyable evening meals at reasonable prices with a cute open fire in the bar.
