An Excellent Hotel with Very Helpful Staff
From the moment we arrived we were treated as special. Luggage was collected from the car park and delivered to our suite. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff in the restaurant were very professional and knowledgeable. A fantastic hotel - one of our favourites and we will be coming back.
No review title
We were well looked after by the staff and the meal was excellent. The wine waiter was very helpful and introduced some unusual wines to compliment the food. An excellent venue for a delicious meal and very comfortable stay.
Great location
The hotel is in a great location and our room was very comfortable. However the hotel seemed a little short staffed due to a wedding party taking place, this meant that we found it hard to get attention for a drinks order (twice). And we booked a table in the restaurant at 8PM, didn't get seated until 9PM. The service in the restaurant seemed very hit and miss. The food was really tasty, but it was let down by the service sadly.
