Loved the hotel, all Friendly and accommodating if needed. Spa is fantastic, lots of options, and agin staff were so Friendly and happy to help. I have one slight gripe (which some may find odd) - on arrival they took a £100 deposit from my card, Ive been to many hotels were they take the card and charge it to that if you use anything, but here they took £100. Fair enough I thought, is what it is. However, on departure (checking out ready to go) they refunded £72 and told me the amount taken was ‘kind of a tip for the staff’ but ‘if I wanted they could also refund this’. Now while this is a first World problem, it’s a bit cheeky tbh, like you have to ask, and you’re guilted into paying, with no idea where this goes and who gets what, while at the same time you’re checking out and want to go, so very unlikely to say ‘yes, please give this undefined tip back to me because the £270 a night Ive paid wasn’t enough’ Anyway, amazing hotel save this one aspect.

This hotel has found a new regular guest in me. Exceptional experience from start to finish. Despite being an extremely frequent traveller, I am appalling at writing up reviews however I had to write one for this stay. Now, I have stayed at the hotel before - however I was heavily pregnant and so not able to fully make the most of my visit. This time however, I was here and ready to enjoy! The service? 5/5. The spa? 5/5. The room? 5/5. Location? 5/5. Thad a great time, and am intending to book in monthly stays for my wellbeing. If you are lucky enough to be able to, why not? A shoutout to Chris in the bar who made my evenings just that little bit better. The whole team are clearly trained very well, and are here to make your stay relaxing, and easy. The service is perfect; thoughtful without being intrusive. I had a wonderful time - thank you.

Disliked: Room comfort
While the location of the hotel was excellent, we were quite disappointed with the room we were allocated on the ground floor near the street. The noise from workers early in the morning and people returning from nearby pubs at around 3am resulted in very disturbed sleep across our stay. Considering the price we paid, this was well below expectations and negatively affected our overall experience. In the future, we would recommend allocating quieter rooms away from the street for guests, or providing clearer options for room selection when booking.
