A really lovely stay

A really lovely stay in a great hotel. The staff were very attentive and courteous. The a la carte breakfast (salmon and eggs) was excellent. The eggs were definitely free range. We would most definitely stay here again.

When we went in January the hotel was fairly quiet and we experienced no noise. Staff were helpful. Our first morning we had the £16 breakfast but were not really that hungry so very expensive for a few sausages. The room aircon had no instructions and we were unable to stop it switching itself on and off throughout the first night. By playing about with it and asking the concierge we got it to be quiet the following nights.

Overcharged to a charity without my consent

When I checked out they had added a charge to a charity without my consent so do check your statement. No room service menu in room and phone to restaurant didn’t work. When went to reception for menu, it was very, very limited. No salt/pepper/condiments brought with meal. Room noisy as next to lift and air con kept switching back on during the night, despite switching off. Gym was small and no space to use any equipment and loud blaring news on full blast. Breakfast buffet limited. Scrambled eggs looked vile and synthetic.

Everything is very good. A huge improvement in all areas since being taken over by Marriott. The morning coffee however really lets the hotel down. Very weak filter coffee severed from a large container is not what you would expect from a 4 star establishment.
