Pros:

The breakfast options were great. The gym facilities are world class and it was appreciated that the TV was larger than usual. The room service was very fast.

Cons:

We were woken up at 6am by neighbours who were quite loud slamming doors and talking. Which is not quiet what we expected on a Sunday morning. It was unfortunate that lactose free milk wasn't available as everything else about the restaurant was great.

Kind staff, beautiful location, and the sweetest birthday touch.
Pros:

Staff were incredibly kind and upgraded our room for us. They also lent us a universal charger for the night. We were greeted with a lovely bar of chocolate and a birthday card for my partner — made our stay so special!

Located in a beautiful, posh neighbourhood and we spotted hares nearby too!

Very clean & comfortable stay, it had everything we needed and the staff were very pleasant to deal with leading up
Pros:

Rooms are very generous in size and had everything we were after. Ground floor with door directly to carpark made it convenient to unpack the car & the portacot for our baby was one of the better ones we’ve used (bigger than normal travel cots).

We were offered a 3rd key so we could leave one in the room with the heater on to ensure a comfortable temperature for our baby as we headed out for dinner and it was quite chilly 🥶

We were also able to check-in a few hours early which made our plans go smoothly as we could check-in and put our daughter down for a nap before heading out.

10/10 - would stay here again, also enjoyed our breakfast & lunch at the restaurant.

Cons:

Nothing we didn’t like.
