The staff were so helpful. The hotel was stunning. The bed was so comfortable and the food delicious. We had a great time in the bar listening to live music and the hotel is situated just far enough from the town that there was no noise to be heard. Will definitely be going back. I would highly recommend this hotel

This is the third year we have stayed at The Walter Raleigh Hotel. As always the staff were fantastically friendly and the food in the restaurant was superb. The rooms are comfortable with all the facilities you would expect from a hotel of this standard. This will certainly not be our last visit, I can highly recommend it.
