Big room, great facilities and very comfy beds. Dropped star as the parking which is poor and no disabled atm due to works.

Great staff, great food. We had 2 suites and both rooms are looking particularly tired, especially the bathrooms. However, its in a great location!
Excellent breakfast - but what made our stay special were the incredible staff.
Have suggested that with a name like Malmaison there should be more roses in evidence.
We upgraded to a suite however we weren’t informed that the construction was right outside our window with scaffolders working and being able to see straight in. The house also started early morning which was disruptive to a lazy morning lay in which we had planned.
