Dear Elena Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed such a smooth check-in, found our team welcoming, and appreciated the convenience of the parking. It’s especially great to know you had “the best sleep in years” and nine hours of total silence is exactly the kind of comfort we hope every guest experiences! We’re also delighted that breakfast hit the mark, from the fresh pastries and pancakes to the full English and great coffee. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon and it’s an honor to be your top pick! Kind regards Aman Sirpal

Elizabeth F. Couples - 6/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This is a beautiful hotel with lovely rooms and extremely professional and helpful staff. It is quite difficult to get to due to it being next to a very busy four-laned road and it was made more stressful when trying to offload luggage initially. We found the hotel car park which is a short distance from the hotel but had to ring from there to ask how to get to the front in order to offload. To do so, guests have to basically drive onto the precincted area at the front of the hotel. The food was very nice on the whole. However, I paid £6 extra for prawns on my salad and was presented with three! When the waiter asked how the meal was, I said I thought three prawns in my salad was not very good. He just said he'd pass my comments on. I heard no more. That aside, the bedroom was comfortable and everything was very clean and well presented. The staff are brilliant.

Dear Elizabeth Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your room and found our hotel to be clean, comfortable, and well presented. Your kind comments regarding our team are especially appreciated, and we will be sure to share your praise with them. Providing professional and helpful service is something we take great pride in. We are sorry to learn that your arrival experience was more stressful than it should have been. We understand that our location and parking arrangements can be challenging for first-time visitors, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve our guest communications and arrival instructions. We are also disappointed to hear about your dining experience. While we are pleased that you generally enjoyed the food, we understand your concern regarding the portion of prawns provided with your salad and regret that your feedback was not addressed more effectively at the time. This is not the level of service we strive to deliver, and we will be reviewing your comments with our food and beverage team. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We are pleased that, overall, you had an enjoyable stay and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Manish Sharma
