Check in was good and pleased with the room. What needs to improve is the breakfast and staff. Welcome staff hiding round the corner on phone. After asking did not tell us how breakfast worked. Several staff not doing alot, even when the coffee machine broke and would not manually make tea coffee! Had to wait over 10 to 15 mins. Breakfast really let the place down especially when everything else was excellent.

It was not good value for money compared with other hotels I have stayed in. Maintenance could be better. Air conditioning had to be switched off at night because it was so noisy. Neither lights worked on bathroom mirror or magnifying mirror. No shampoo or conditioner supplied. Coffee at breakfast came out of a machine.

Our room 415 needed updating. Carpet frayed furniture old. The staff were courteous. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the festive season. We paid an additional £300 for New Years Eve gala. The main course beef wellington was inedible and despite informing the waiter and being served with new portion each, this was also inedible. Spoke to the on duty manager but no good will gesture. Just told to email in. Eventually received a response and £30 refund to share between my husband and I. Our preference would be to enjoy an edible meal at the time. Otherwise we had an enjoyable 3 days.
