Incredible experience without fault!
Pros:

Exceptional from start to finish. Quick, straightforward last minute booking, easy check in, the room and hotel were incredibly clean. Bed super comfy, and i particularly loved the small, thoughtful touches in the room: complimentary chocolate, wine glasses, fridge, bottle opener (all of which duly used 😅).
The bar was great, clean, attractive, and not overpriced.
Will most definitely return!

A very pleasant stay
Pros:

The Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were nice and spacious and clean (albeit slightly dated) with a good heating/cooling systems installed. Breakfast was really nice help yourself buffet with a good range of full English and continental options. A good bar and restaurant with outdoor gardens to enjoy in warmer days/evenings.

Cons:

There are no lifts, just stairs and the building is quite elongated so your room could be a good walk away. Next time I will look at a ground floor room due to accessibility as I have a minor mobility issue. Usually its not to much of a problem but I did struggle on this occasion and some people in a similar circumstance might struggle if they are not aware.

Excellent customer service and clean but poor bathroom in room 229
Pros:

We had a pleasant family stay with our children aged 6 and 8. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was also delicious.

Cons:

Please do not allocate Room no 229 to families with young children until the bathroom safety issue is fixed. There is a metal piece fixed to the floor near the shower area that caused my son to hurt his toe. The bathroom also has poor ventilation. This could be a serious hazard for children. We reported the incident to reception at checkout.
