Pros:

The location was great and the view from our bedroom was the best. The restaurant and bar food was very good.

Cons:

The windows in the room are single glazed meaning it we could hear the bottle bins being emptied in the morning and being March the was a cold draft when the curtains where open.

Pros:

Fabulous position
Comfortable rooms
Lovely staff

Cons:

Exorbitant price for a continental breakfast. £19 for a bit of fruit and a croissant! Come on! Not as good as a premier inn breakfast at a third of the cost!

Great location, beautiful hotel.
Pros:

The staff were great, our room was lovely and we felt very welcome. Overall the hotel does a really nice job being somewhere between very elegant and very practical.

Cons:

The bathrooms could be a little bigger but realistically it wasn't a problem. When you have two people, you certainly are not in there getting ready together!

Pros:

Very comfortable bed and quiet room

Cons:

The reception area, lift and corridors are dark,dingy and tired looking and could all do with a face lift . You have to carry your bags down about 10 steps when coming from the car park . I don’t know how you would manage with luggage/ push chair / wheelchair as there is no way of attracting attention from reception staff for assistance.
