Nice stay at this hotel - overall the decor is a tad dated and could do with an uplift but hit said not take from the overall comfy and cosy stay and experience. Quality of bedding was excellent and I have to commend all and every staff I dealt with from check in through to breakfast staff and evening ba staff ( Harrys Bar) - everyone was super helpful, professional and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. Truly!

Clean spacious room but was executive. Staff most of them friendly and helpful. Bathroom door stop was just by sink and I kept hitting it with my foot - not good. Should have alternative coffee to coffee machine as had kettle to make tea. Should have instructions on how to use coffee machine. It was easy to knock off as kept going red on me but very helpful member of staff showed me what was wrong

Room was very comfortable. Probably a bit dated at this stage. TV etc, disappointed with the old fashioned type hairdryer in bathroom but overall a very comfortable sleep. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially a young man Paul who was at reception today and went out of his way to help an elderly relative. Breakfast was standard buffet. Expensive i felt but probably standard rate for hotels these days.
