We had the best stay , our first time travelling as mum and 12 year old for my daughter Xmas pressie. The room was perfect, and we loved the little note left welcoming my daughter and chocs. The pork belly for dinner was just delicious too and the reception and bar staff during our meal were all so welcoming. We really can't rate you higher, and look forward to visiting again

Overall the stay was fine - however our room was placed directly opposite the lift meaning there was constant noise and heavy footfall through the night meaning we did not sleep well nor comfortably with the large amount of noise.

Bed was so small for two people. Room was big enough to accommodate a bigger bed but the bed was tiny so we didn't sleep much. Could hear the train outside and hallways quite noisy too. Breakfast was nice
