  A disappointing stay

  The rooms are comfortable and well looked after. We didn’t have any hot water for the duration of our stay so couldn’t shower. It looked like someone had forgotten to switch on the boiler for the room in which were we staying. The staff tried hard to sort it out but were unable to before our departure. We also had to miss breakfast as it is not served until 8am on a Sunday and we had to leave at 7.30. I did mention our early check out when I booked but the later breakfast time was not highlighted. I have since emailed and requested a partial refund but 48 hours later and I am yet to receive a response. The response rate was unsurprisingly much quicker during the booking process. A disappointing stay.

  Beautiful stay

  Beautiful stay, rooms were just lovely. We were worried as it was right near the road but didn’t have any impact on our sleep. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, they make this place! Breakfast was spot on! We will definitely be back!

  Another excellent stay!

  I make a point of stopping here if my flight I to LHR is getting in too late to get home. I actually don't do this as I like to visit different places however this superb hotel is just too good to miss! Staff are always super helpful, and pleasant. I was running late this time, and I as they were pleased I gad made it in time before the kitchen closed. Great food again, well cooked and well presented. Decent house red and attentive happy service both on reception and restaurant staff...thank you. Room cosy, warm, comfy with good facilities and a nice shower.

  The most fabulous staff, who go above and beyond to make your stay exceptional!

  We had a truly fabulous experience at this hotel for a beautiful family Christmas. The staff were absolutely outstanding and made our stay an exceptional one! I particularly need to mention the amazing staff that made it such an exceptional experience by dedicating their Christmas to making sure the guests had a wonderful time. Summer’s kindness and support in the restaurant was really outstanding! Max the Deputy Manager and Kai in the restaurant were both truly fabulous too! We also had wonderful experiences from Kieron the Duty Manager and Toni, Jade & Charlotte in the restaurant. These wonderful people made our stay worth every penny, by always going above and beyond, to make this a lovely life-long memory! They all worked so hard and were polite, respectful, kind and happy to respond to any queries or issues. They each made our stay a very special one! The food was truly outstanding and of a really fabulous quality. The kitchen staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes all Christmas and delivered exceptional food every time. We were completely stuffed to the brim on every day of our stay! The high quality of the food and the beautiful presentation made our Christmas so easy going, so stress free and so positive! There were a few aspects of our stay that could definitely be improved. Although the rooms were clean, the carpets were very stained, the wallpaper peeling off, the toilet brush rusty. These definitely need updating. I was informed that the flooring is going to be updated, hopefully before our next stay, as it didn’t look great. I would have given a five star rating review, had these issues not been so obvious. However, none of this was the fault of the amazingly fabulous staff! I think the pricing could also be clearer, as there were very high service charges added to our final check out costs, that were unexpected, as we had paid in advance or on the day for everything we ate or drunk. Overall, it was a genuinely fabulous experience and we would definitely recommend this place to others and return ourselves, as soon as the flooring is updated in the carpeted rooms.
