The staff were brilliant from being welcomed by Bailey to the staff who served us room service. The whole place is lovely and very clean. Food is exceptional.

Cons:

Road sound from our room was loud but this can't be helped. Room was lovely which made up for the noise.

Pros:

Rooms were big and bathroom spacious. Car parking was ample.

Cons:

Air-conditioning didn't keep the room cool enough to sleep in. Loud music from the function room was playing until very late and was so loud you could feel it. Would have preferred to have known about this when booking as wouldn't have booked. Beds were uncomfortable and pillows were too hard.breakfast had very limited choice and was bland.

Pros:

Andrea was fantastic when my mother in law fainted she is an absolute credit and can not thank her enough
Breakfast was very good a lot of variety
Room was lovely
Beds was comfy

Cons:

There was lipstick on the cups in the room
And the noise that came from the window from the traffic on the road was non stop even tho the window was shut it sounded as if it wasn’t you would expect little noise with it being a new building
didn’t have a restful sleep
If I was to stay again I would ask for a room away from the road
