Its’ history. The beautiful building. The gorgeous reception. Social hour. Refuge. Courteous staff. Complimentary tray in room.
Slow lift. Shower: hand held shower was difficult to work.

Lovely room and stay as usual. Lost count of how many times I’ve stayed here. Staff amazing. Free mini bar always nice. And room massive. Lovely !
Tbh, the restaurant offering is always a little strange. I can’t say I look at the menu and say “wow we really should eat here”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, in fact the food is great, it’s just not a stand out menu offering. We ended up going to an Italian along the road which was incredible. I just feel that someone needs to sanity check the menu and be less niche

Unfortunately, we arrived late and had to leave early - we would have loved to spend more time at the hotel, as it was gorgeous!

Wonderful
Room was beautiful and spacious. Shower was amazing Bed was sooooo comfortable. The greeting on arrival was lovely, the desk people and the person at breakfast were superb
Stop serving PG tips as tea. Yorkshire tea is the only tea. The breakfast doesn’t seem to be value for money. I get it if you want to have a belly buster breakfast and fill your pockets for the rest of the day. But £22 seems a little excessive for a bowl of yogurt and compote and a pot of tea. I would really rather I just paid what I ordered like I would at a restaurant and the continental part of the breakfast built into the price of the room.

WOW what an amazing hotel. Absolutely beautiful - the design, the spacious and luxurious rooms, the shower amenities. We didn’t want to leave! The staff was welcoming and had amazing recommendations and they even brought the pizza we ordered - to our room!
Just one point for improvement- when we came for breakfast at 9:40 (ends at 10) we didn’t have a lot to choose from, so either arrive earlier or maybe they can top up so there’s enough for latecomers.

Disappointing
The staff in the restaurant and bar were amazing and attentive. 5 star
The room was a total disappointment. It wasn’t what we were expecting from a 4 star hotel. A small box room with a small bed .

Nothing!!!!
When it is written lower ground what I understood was the lower floors in a building not a basement floor without windows. Rooms were small smelly and carpet was from ancient times. You can smell the toilet in the mornings. I dont know how but at least you should expect a silent room in the basement but they figured out a way to have the noise of the doors inside rooms. Last day we had an early flight and we had to leave at 5 am. I asked for a taxi to be reserved from the night and they forgot!!!
