The room was lovely, food/drinks were gorgeous (especially the lamb rogan josh), but the people were the highlight of my stay. Kind and attentive staff and great entertainment with a live band! Thank you so much for this perfect experience. Will be back to stay again :)

Business traveller: Probably one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed at in a long time. I would avoid at all costs. However, the pub itself and the Indian food served there is actually very good.

The staff was friendly, but that's about it. The state of the room was shocking. There was dust on everything, the room had a very bad odour and had to leave the window half open for the entire night just to be able to stomach the stench. I am pretty sure some other guests smoked there before even with no smoking sign on the door.

This property was booked at the very last minute and very late in the evening after being let down badly on a previous booking. They were very accommodating and the staff were very friendly. No complaints about the room or the hotel in general, and felt they rescued from a very difficult situation. Thank you!
