Lovely place to stay.
Courtyard room modern, clean and spacious. Bed large and comfortable - but felt too firm by morning, a mattress topper may make it better if I was being very picky.
Real coffee bags in both caffeinated and decaf in the room along with tea and biscuits, lovely touch. Bathroom spacious, modern and clean with benefit if shower being fully separate from bath, always a bonus.
The restaurants were both great. We ate in the bar for our evening meal our first night; food and service both outstanding, highly recommend. We used the main restaurants for our breakfasts; typical buffet spreads with the option to purchase additional speciality coffees if cafetière doesn’t float your boat. There were a choice of additional fresh hot orders from the kitchen included in breakfast (porridge, Eggs Benedict, Kippers, Smashed Avocado etc) but we didn’t try these as the buffet spread suited us very well. Lovely fresh pastries, fresh juices, and a well-cooked English breakfast buffet.
We did not use the spa facilities on this occasion but they looked lovely.
Nice touch: the hotel called us after we booked to explain they had a function event on the Saturday evening that would involve music until midnight, and offered us the chance to change rooms. As we were planning to be out elsewhere that evening, I did not choose this option, but as it was the music did not disturb my sleep when I returned at 11pm anyway.
Car parking easy, free and close to front door.
