Pros:

Location, decor and fitout of the rooms were nice

Cons:

We booked a deluxe suite at a cost of nearly £500 a night. Paid an additional £45 extra for early check in by 1pm and valet parking.

Whilst the room its self was lovely, it wasn't ready at 1pm and we were told to come back later when we first arrived, Id ordered £125 bottle of champagne and rose petals as a 'finishing touch' as it was a special occasion.

The champagne was there, however there were no champagne glasses in the room and had to ask.

Was also no bottle opener in the room, which we had to ask for, despite minibar being full of bottles which require a bottle opener to open.

We then had a knock about an hour after having the bottle opener dropped at the room asking for it back? 😂

Paid for valet parking, and had to park up, go in the hotel and tell them I had arrived as there was no valet team outside to greet you, take your bags or lower the bollard to even get in. Defeating the point of valet parking.

When we went for a first attempt to check in (1PM) they stored our bags which I assumed would be taken up to the room for when we eventually got in there. It wasnt, and had to go back down and grab it myself.

May seem like all small niggly things, and whilst the staff were nice, they do add up and detract from the overall experience, especially at a total cost of nearly £700 for one night.

Immaculate, beautifully decorated with exceptional staff who go above and beyond.
Pros:

The hotel itself was exceptionally clean, well presented to a high standard and beautifully decorated. The staff were amazing - they upgraded our stay as it was our first year wedding anniversary and, because the room they gave us had a slight problem with the sink, they upgraded us further to a room with a little outside seating area which was absolutely amazing. One member of staff in particular, Mark, went out of his way to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. He couldn’t have done enough for us and he was the reason we were upgraded following an issue with the sink. We couldn’t have asked for better service and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Cons:

Nothing at all.
