Would 100% recommend. You willl not be disappointed. Hoepfully be back soon!
Pros:

The attention to detail from the staff was great. The room was great, loved the aesthetic of the room (Sir Thomas Berridge) Comfy bed, fresh cookies. Big bath as well impressive water pressure on the shower. Added on little details of swans and rose petals for my girlfriend’s birthday which was special. The food for dinner and breakfast was so yummy!

Cons:

Nothing to write here. Was a fantastic night away

Pleased we made the decision to to stay there
Pros:

Lovely welcome and check in process. Room was very pleasant. Plenty of hanging space in room and wardrobe and proper coat hangers! Breakfast menu was very good and everything was beautifully presented. All the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Would have been happy to have stayed more than one night - which, for us, is always a good measure of whether we like somewhere.

Cons:

The lighting in the bathroom wasn't the best for my husband shaving - but that is more an observation than a criticism.
