Overall - mah.

For some reason our allocated room was for people with special needs with pull cords hanging from the ceiling near the bed, special toilet seat and shower support elements. That removed the aesthetics we hoped for. Dinner at the main Great Western restaurant was ok but not wow, there was also a lack of vegetable salads options. Overall - mah.

Great 5* hotel

I would highly recommend this hotel. We had a Valley view room, which was super spacious with amazing views of the deer park. We also had dinner in Smiths Brasserie, which was informal but with very tasty food and great service.

Don't stay at this place!

You arrive at this place thinking "wow - this looks lovely" and you leave bitterly disappointed and with a really bad taste in your mouth, figuratively and literally. Really consider some other options before considering this place.
