Grand surroundings, amazing staff, very comfortable rooms with everything you need.
Pros:

Beautiful property, well kept. Attentive staff always on hand to help if needed. Bed super comfortable.

Cons:

Carpet in room was quite stained as you walk in, but understand the amount of foot traffic in and out of rooms.
At certain times of the day one lift was out of order which meant waiting longer than usual.

Rude staff. Receptionst said to her colleague “this man asked for a roo” and she replied “did you laugh at him?” Eastern European girl what a foul human.

Overall positive
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at the University Arms. The rooms were luxurious. Breakfast delicious.
One follow up- the chaise lounge was badly stained (see photos). Would not have expected in a 5 star hotel

Pros:

Staff were excellent.

Cons:

Room allocated was disappointing. we booked a room that should have park view and it had street view, and no bath despite being told they had rooms of that calibre with bath and every effort would be made to accommodate.
